The Spartan®-6 FPGA SP601 Evaluation Kit

The Spartan®-6 FPGA SP601 Evaluation Kit is an ideal entry-level development environment for evaluating the Spartan-6 family. This low-cost kit is the Xilinx Base Platform for developing consumer, infotainment, video, and other cost- and powersensitive applications. As a Base Level Targeted Design Platform, the new kit provides an integration of hardware, software, IP, and preverified reference designs so development can begin right out of the box.
