LogicStart MegaWing Papilio Bundle

Here at GadgetFactory we have put together the most common package people choose for getting going with FPGA yet Arduino style user friendly development.

The best way we have found for hardware users to branch into the field of VHDL programming and prototype debugging is this combo pack.

What you get is the cutting edge Papilio One or Pro FPGA development circuit board of your choice combined the LogicStart Megawing and free breadboard.

The free Ebook by Mike Fields on the Spartan FPGA chip with walk you step by step with the first steps to getting going well.

Papilio Pro

The Papilio Pro is a powerful, open-source, expandable development board perfect for the design and prototyping of your unique ideas.  You can customize the capabilities of the Papilio with snap-on modular expansions called Wings (similar to Arduino shields) which provide added functionality to the board, and simultaneously expand the creative possibilities!

As the most powerful development board in Papilio series, Papilio Pro is based on Xilinx Spartan 6 LX FPGA. It offers exciting new features over the Papilio One, including 64Mb SDRAM, 64K Block SRAM, DSP Slices, Clock Management Tile, Multi-Boot,  and an efficient switching power supply.

At its heart, the Papilio Pro has a Xilinx Spartan 6 LX9 FPGA chip, providing a plentiful amount of digital logic to quickly get your prototyping off the ground.  In addition, you can code for the FPGA using established development tools, or you can use Gadget Factory's custom Arduino IDE to easily write Arduino code and upload it to the AVR8 soft processor!
