FPGA Dev Night (7 May 7-10PM)
This will be the first installment of the FPGA classes. The only hardware requirement is that you have a Xilinx based Spartan 3 or greater (Virtex is okay as well). Spartan 2 will not be used because it requires a very old version of the Xilinx ISE. Agenda: Introductions Configure Xilinx ISE web kit software…
