Anyone used the Spartan III board from AVNET?
Well, I'm looking to acquire a Spartan III board. Mainly, I was looking at Avnet board and NuHorizons board.
Both are Spartan III 400K Gates. NuHorizons is half the price, but lack IO (there isn't much left to implement a lot of things). Avnet, on the other side, have some cool features. It lack flash memory (useable parallel flash, not the configurator...), but with all the extras IO, this isn't a problem, and the Ethernet and PCI interfaces are a real plus, not to forget about the special offer...
So, anyone actually baught one? What's your feeling about that board? Do you know if Avnet have some ready to ship or is it backorder? Is it worth it? You know... those kind of stuff
Thanks
