Closing

Sorry! All finished! Apart from the advanced features of the I/O blocks (such as DDR2 inputs and outputs) you have pretty much played with all the features of the Spartan 3E.

So if you are still keen to learn more:

  • Have a read through the Xilinx AppNotes library. The ones on creative uses of BRAM and MULT18s is full of good ideas

  • Read through full Spartan 3E User Guide - it will make some sense now

  • Create a system using the PicoBlaze embedded processor

  • Sell or gift your development board to a friend and move up to one with off-chip RAM, ROM, DACs, ADCs, Ethernet…​

  • Try a different FPGA vendor’s board - that will really make your head hurt

  • Have a go at building something really nifty

If there is something I have missed or you want to say thanks send me an email - or maybe send me a postcard to me at 370 Ellesmere Junction Road, Springston 7616, Canterbury, New Zealand. It will be fun to see if I actually get any cards!
