Honored ContributorWhy do you want to design your own board? There are plenty of development kits that you could use.
If you want to design the board so that you understand how its done, then you need to study other designs, eg., the designs of the development kits. Part of that study will be "why did they do that?". Board design is not a simple matter of putting an FPGA on a PCB. You have to "design" the power supplies to meet the power-on sequencing requirements of the FPGA, you need to decide on and implement a power-on configuration method, you need to include JTAG, and connector interfaces to the outside world. Those connectors need ESD protection, possibly level translation, or voltage protection, etc. There are plenty of experienced designers on this forum. If you describe why you want to do this, you'll get advice. Cheers, Dave
