I'll investigate the difficult BGA package, design a development board for it, build it with my reflow oven and run some VHDL test code to try it out.

the moment of silence at 1:53 :) another very well documented work. Thanks Andy.

I'm really happy for your success :) Great work! The 0402 SMD components are a bit finicky, and for hobby purposes I see them as the last stop (no need to use 0201 sized ones).

Hi Andy, now you have entered a higher league, large FPGA, BGA cool :) :) :)

Very nice board Andy! Yes I agree, 0402 is very small. I am 26 and far-sighted, so despite seeing fairly good near-sight I still get very bad eye strain after soldering for a few hours. Hats off for attempting that grid of capacitors :-)

Having reflowed that chip all by yourself is really impressive.

I did enjoy watching, and I'm excited to start checking out more of your work!

Very cool! Congrats on getting the FPGA so cheap.

Well done. I reckon the magnifier is "2X/5X Hands Free 10 LED Illuminated Folding Desktop Magnifier with Stand MG3B-1C"

Very interesting video and good looking board!
Please tell about 162 153 differential lines, are those 100ohm lvds? They look strangely wide for 100ohm, more like double 50ohm lines if the ground plane is 65um. Also about internal layer lines, have you tested phase front integrity and wave resistance?

great video - but it's a bit sad you didn't film the BGA positioning and soldering :'(

Excellent video. I am well impressed with the board you designed and built. As a hobbiest BGA scares me! Out of interest how does this FPGA compare with something like the Spartan6. I have a couple of devi boards (Papilio & XESS) which use the LX9 version. I also recently bought some cheap Altera boards (Cyclone IV). I really need to get around to doing something useful with them!
Please post more videos of what you are doing with this board!

Very satisfying video. I also got hope to reflow my own spartan 6 and cyclone IV FPGAs. Can you show us your reflow setup ?

Hi Andy, amazing review thanks a lot! I'm very new to this, but I have about 12 years in software development.
How many years have you practiced the development of fpga? How much you paid for 40 pieces?

So you're going to use the rest by arranging them into a star topology cray inspired neuron simulating supercomputer right?

Great video. I would be proud if I had half of your talent.

so complicated, so much to learn, any recommended material for this?

Great project sir. which sublime VHDL package are u using?

Hi

Good day.

Is it possible to take a copy of the downloaded software and keep it?

thanks

Nice project!There is a simple 8bit LED shifter+fader in verilog (43LUT4):  

module LEDShift(
  input CLK_50MHZ,
  output reg [7:0]LED
    );
 
 reg [25:0]div;
 wire [3:0]sum = div[25:22] + div[15:13];
 
 always @(posedge CLK_50MHZ) begin
  div <= div + 1'b1;
  LED[div[15:13]] <= div[18:16] < (sum[2:0] ^ {3{sum[3]}});
 end
 
endmodule
