Honored ContributorTwo on-board FPGAs - recommendations?
I am looking for a board with two FPGAs on it, each connected to an SDRAM.
Does somebody here use such a board already? Any recommendations? [I'm not sure if this is a right place to post this question. Please correct me if I am wrong. ] Thanks, FPGAkitty6 Replies
Altera_ForumI think we will get the terASIC DE3 boards :)

Try the distributors (e.g. Avnet, Arrow).
Most are single FPGA designs, but.... - Altera_Forum
TerASIC also has a new set of boards in the DE3 family that can interconnect.

You can always have two SDRAMs each of which can be dedicated to communicate with portions of design on an FPGA. But if you want to try out a multiple-FPGA board, here is one of the Altera partner boards: http://www.gidel.com/procstar%20ii.htm

I am interested in the memory bandwidth which would come with two FPGAs each with a dedicated SDRAM. My thought is that a single FPGA - memory system would have half this bandwidth. I could just interface two boards instead, but the pin delays involved would be significant.

Can I ask you why two twin FPGAs? Why not a single, big enough FPGA?
Is there a specific reason to split your design in two identical parts?
