Compiling my own SPARC CPU inside a cheap FPGA

Ah. Most of the devices on sale on ebay have VGA connectors.

Found one with DVI and just bought it, @ $22.95.

Thanks for the advice!

I just want to second this! I think I just ordered a LX100 for that price (plus 25US$ for shipping to ol' Europe).

//edit: Next thing tomorrow: Order the stuff necessary to program this (or check if I can use company equipment).

There are different options: my preferred one is to use something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32940620936.html

If you're willing to forgo the Xilinx special features such as ChipScope, you can also use OpenOCD and pretty much any OpenOCD compatible JTAG cable to upload a bitstream into the FPGA.

That’s an excellent price.

Have fun with it!
