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 power-sensitive applications.

As a Base Level Targeted Design Platform, this kit provides an integration of hardware, software, IP and pre-verified reference designs so development can begin right out of the box.
