A few quick updates to the avs3a software that I've writting for the Avnet Spartan-3A Eval Kit (as mentioned in a previous post). First, many thanks to George Gallant from the Avnet Spartan-3A Eval Kit mailing list for rewriting the code to fix the horrible configuration time, as well as for the many error checking [...]
As I mentioned on the Avnet Spartan-3A Eval Kit Google Group, I've created a C program that will allow you to configure the FPGA via your Linux box. I don't have a lot of time to elaborate on how to use this program, but the basic steps are listed below. These instructions assume that you [...]

Completely by accident, I happened to stumble upon a program that gives you an easy way to learn DSP techniques by focusing on the underlying algorithms and not the hardware details. The program is called BasicDSP and is available as a Linux source tarball or Windows executable. BasicDSP was created by PA3FWM and PE1OIT as [...]
Lately, I have been using my Ubuntu Hardy Heron box for coding and programming my AVR projects using the simple combination of gedit, the avr-gcc toolchain and the USBtinyISP. It's a little bit of a pain to get set up correctly, but it works very well once it's up and running. I've been pretty happy [...]
