New ContributorCan't find cheap minimal fpga dev board?
Hi Named,
Thank you for your question.
We just recently made the announcement on Agilex 3; therefore, the development boards release schedule and software information is not yet available.
As far as this link suggests, Intel Agilex series is available with Quartus Prime Pro edition : https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/central-libraries/us/en/documents/quartus-prime-compare-editions-guide.pdf
Kindly note that for Agilex 3 however, its available software information is not yet finalized. In case you need to purchase a license, we recommend contacting the local sales for the price details. There is an evaluation license which you can obtain for free for 90 days.
Kind regards,
Chee
New ContributorHello Chee,
I have already checked this.
(i checked almost everything in the other categories too, but $25k is a bit much for a student...
Unfortunately, the dev kits in the Cyclone family don't match my requirements. The LP FPGA has less than a quarter of the LE's, and all other boards are over 1k USD. There are 2 development kits in the MAX 10 family that may come close to my requirements, but they only have half of the specified LE's. Unless you are going to tell me that your sales team can give me a 90% off, i doubt i can afford it.
While i now know that there are no development kits with these requirements, there is another question which i am still struggling with.
From what i have seen, there is a gap between the "cheap" and "expensive" boards.
In my search i found only 1 FPGA that had the right LE's and price, but it's dev board was very much unaffordable for me.
Why are there no "mid-range" FPGA's? (/boards?)
Have a nice day!
