I started with a Digilent Basys2[0], it could be a slightly cheaper alternative to the Terasic DE0. It uses a Xilinx chip, has a free design/development software called ISE Webpack, which also has schematic diagram support.

- edwintorok 12y agoThat is interesting, I haven't looked at it in detail yet but what does it use to create the .bit files or is the entire toolchain open source?
- sklogic 12y agoUnfortunately, it still relies on the same Xilinx ISE (webpack is sufficient), so, it's not possible to cook bitfiles on the Pi itself. But the board itself is nice, easily programmable via SPI, has a decent Spartan6 LX9.
- edwintorok 12y agoHow does it compare to Papilio, if I were to buy one which one should I get? http://papilio.cc/index.php?n=Papilio.Learning http://papilio.cc/index.php?n=Papilio.Learning
