Hi Everyone !
My background is software, also STM32 bare metal embedded programming in C with a splashing of Libopen-cm3 and FreeRTOS. I am now investigating what is possible in the world of FPGA.
Is there any board support for the Anvyl in EDK as there is in Adept? I cannot find it although I also notice that Xilinx continues to support Spartan-6 in general. Can I, for example, choose a different board in EDK that uses a similar Spartan-6 chip such as the SP601 or SP605 Evaluation Board and tweak the settings? I would appreciate hearing from members who have experience with this dev board. Although a bit outdated now it is sufficient for my current purposes.
I also have a question about the design of the board -- why all the capacitors on page 9 of the schematic surrounding the main chip? Are these all bypass capacitors to reduce noise? It's a bit of a mystery to me.
