David,

Well here is one alternative. The S3-1500 is pin compatible
Another suggestion is to contact your local Xilinx FAE and ask them for
a copy of the tool set for the larger FPGA. Also ask them why they
don't include the larger device in the no cost Web Pack. I never
understood why all the devices weren't included in the Web Pack. The
higher end parts ha
David,
I understand your frustration. Please understand that this decision was
not made lightly. We started out with the Spartan 3-1500 which is the
largest chip supported by the free tools. As we progressed, it became
apparent that there was not enough Block RAM to cram in all firmware fo
I always find it difficult to reconcile what the manufacturer stamps ton
these products with marketing's product briefs and what everyone calls
them (no matter which FPGA vendor), but this appears to refer to the
XC3S2000 product, part of the basic Spartan 3 series. This looks to be
just above

It is unfortunate (at least for me) that the use of the Spartan-2000
precludes the use of the the web-pack tools from Xylinx. I'm sure that
the extra capacity will be welcome to those who can use it. I had been
planning to purchase a USRP2 system when they became available. But as
an indivi
Please note that the USRP2 uses a Spartan 3-2000 chip. This means that
if you intend to do your own FPGA development, you need to use the full
version of the Xilinx tools in order to generate an image for it. You
cannot use the free web pack version. Thus there are several options
