Looking for a micro programmable FPGA + machine

Tags:

fpga

I'm looking for a FPGA + machine.

It should be entry level pricing (e.g no more than $200).

EDIT: I want to make an ASM chart and program the FPGA to act like I specified in the chart

What do you use FPGA for?

Other FPGA uses include aerospace and defense, medical electronics, digital television, consumer electronics, industrial motor control, scientific instruments, cybersecurity systems and wireless communications.

Is an FPGA a microcontroller?

A field-programmable gate or grid array (FPGA) and a microcontroller are similar, but not the same. They are both essentially “small computers” or integrated circuits embedded in other devices and products.

Can FPGA be reprogrammed?

An FPGA is an integrated circuit (IC) equipped with configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and other features that can be programmed and reprogrammed by a user. The term “field-programmable” indicates that the FPGA's abilities are adjustable and not hardwired by the manufacturer like other ICs.

Is FPGA a hardware or software?

Essentially, an FPGA is a hardware circuit that a user can program to carry out one or more logical operations. Taken a step further, FPGAs are integrated circuits, or ICs, which are sets of circuits on a chip—that's the “array” part.

What about this one? IGEPv2 Board

It runs very smooth. We have web server running on it and it's about the size of a credit card.

There is another similar project: http://beagleboard.org/, which is an open-source hardware and costs about the same as IGEP.

I would try the NEXYS for an FPGA.

To everyone else: the Aruino isn't an FPGA. It's a hardware specification/programming framework that uses the atmega microcontroller line.
