Honored ContributorBGA Socket Adapters? or 2 FPGAs connected?
Hi guys, I'm doing a university project. I trying to design a board and i'm running into the problem of limiting pins and logic element counts. The university can only mount flat pack st...

Honored ContributorI was originally planning to use it as both a frame buffer and for the Nios core running ethernet.
I'm unsure of how much i can get away with. I imagine i'll need to keep it 32 bits wide. socrates, your working on something similar? how much ram are you using? I require to get it off the development boards so as to achgeive the required complexity, plus its something i want to do if its possible. 2 fpgas In regards to this, as it is now on my De2, i have the camera feeding pixels at 50Mhz. This would mean that the IO is fast enough to handle that. So is it possible that i connect two fpgas using a avalon ST bus style connection. (32 data pins + 5 or so control signals) Having just the ethernet, and SDRAM on one FPGA and the other has the auxiliaries. This could mean that i use 2 160 pin FPGAs (15K LEs each). Am i crazy?
