[DSP-10] EZLITE board, DSP5600 board and FPGAs

Fri, 19 Mar 2004 08:28:36 -0000

I've got an EZ-KIT Lite board and a DSP56000 evaluation board if anyone wants to
buy them at a fraction of the original price. I've decided that the leading DSP
changes too quickly and am playing with FPGAs now. They are faster, the
development software is free and they won't become obsolete. Plus, you get to
define the DSP instruction set that you really wanted in the first place.
