XK2F3 XILINX FPGA KIT

Xilinx SPARTAN-3 XK2F3 FPGA kit mainly oriented for FPGA beginners and students. Handy board
design allows to overcome problems, what have beginners, when starting to learn XILINX FPGA
programming. This kit doesn’t require external power supply or programming cable. Kit is powered
from USB. Onboard USB controller allows JTAG programming and UART communication. Kit also has
basic peripherals for easy FPGA projects. Experienced users also can find this kit useful, because it can
be used as USB programmer, for programming any other external JTAG device. Documentation
includes step by step instructions, and demo project.
