This board is cheap costs around $24 and perfect for learning.ĭatasheet: More details of FPGA chip XC6SLX9 can be found here
Xilinx ise 14.7/nexys 3 spartan 6 serial#
This board is custom made board contains many I/O like 7-segment displays, LED lights, DIP switches, LCD interface option, push button switches, serial port interface, VGA display etc. Programming stages for both boards are same except for the burning part.Ībove board, X-SP6-X9 contains Xilinx FPGA chip XC6SLSX9 of Spartan-6 series. But if you have a limited budget and want more flexibility I will recommend Xilinx USB platform cable with any cheap board like X-SP6-X9. Though, Digilent has introduced another product JTAG-HS3 Programming cable which can be used to program Xilinx devices.Ĭonclusion: So, if you have a budget of around $100 or more I recommend a Basys 3 board as they contain internal programming circuitry so you don’t need a separate programming cable. Whereas, Digilent board don’t have this flexibility. Platform cable has an upper edge as it can be used to program all Xilinx devices using J-TAG. Remember, platform cable from AliExpress or similar is Chinese made whereas original costs around $200 ( Buy original Xilinx USB platform cable). Though they are expensive starting $100 and above, whereas Spartan-6 board from AliExpress and platform cable combined costs around $50. If you are new to FPGA programming I will encourage you to buy Digilent series training board like Basys 3 or similar as they are specially designed for students and learners. You can use any compatible Xilinx board and if you have a Digilent series board like Basys 3 you don’t need platform cable as these board contains Atmel chips on them and can be programmed directly with USB cable using Adapt (no need for platform cable hardware).
