Xilinx SPARTAN-3 XK2F3 FPGA kit is mainly oriented for FPGA beginners and students. Handy board design allows to overcome problems, that have beginners when starting to learn XILINX FPGA programming. This kit doesn’t require an external power supply or programming cable. The kit is powered by USB. The onboard USB controller allows JTAG programming and UART communication. The kit also has basic peripherals for easy FPGA projects. Experienced users also can find this kit useful, because it can be used as a USB programmer, for programming any other external JTAG device. Documentation includes step-by-step instructions and a demo project.
