Hello new world!!

hi everybody! 

As you might guess i am new!!:-) I have been interesting to fpga anfd vhdl word sice several time, but i have never had a board to try something real. Now i would really like to buy a board to start practicing but i don't really know what to buy. I am oriented to an avarage kit , let's say about 200-230 $ expensive. So what do you suggest? thank you

So i would like to ask you another thing. 

I need to store a frame 320x240 pixel ( 16 bits for each pixel) but working with a pic32 doesn't allow you to store a frame t; so i thought that writing a a big ram in vhdl could help me. What i mean is to create a storage 256k x 16 bit wide which is filled by the camera ( parallel stream) and then read by the pic32, without using external memory. So is it possible or do you suggest something better? Thank you for your attention!!! :-)

The DE2-70 has two 32-Mbyte SDRAM, which should be enough in your case.

Thank you again! 

So i've just had a look at the board you suggested and i saw that it cames out qith quartusii to program it, but does it allow you to use vhdl to create a project?? Bye

Sure VHDL/Verilog is fully supported in Quartus II

Hi again. Looking at the various manual i saw that the sram of the board is readeble and witeable using an appropriate gui, but can i create a sram controllor to read and write it?
