FPGAs!? Now What?

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have now become a core part of most modern electronic and computer systems. However, to implement your ideas in the real world, you need to get your head around the FPGA architecture, its toolset, and critical design considerations.

This book will briefly describe FPGAs and then show you how to apply them to your problems using a low-cost board and some free software. It discusses how to use the Xilinx ISE WebPACK software to build FPGA designs for the XuLA FPGA board.
