Polmaddie Development Board Family

Guys and Girls

You have all had a chance to look at our new low cost board
Polmaddie1, http://www.enterpoint.co.uk/cpld_boards/polmaddie1.html,
and lots of you have given the web stats I have been given. The eagle
eyed of you may have even noticed the links to Polmaddie2 and
Polmaddie3 and the fact that the Polmaddie2 is the first public
showing of an Enterpoint board not based on Xilinx parts. What's even
better is that US dollar and Euros pricing for this family is now
benefiting countries using those currencies and these boards are even
cheaper for those countries.

The engineering of Polmaddie2 and Polmaddie3 was done this week and
their availability is now only a matter when we fit them into our
assembly facilities schedule. I expect them to be available some time
before Christmas and the New Year.

Our aim with this product range is produce a set of boards with the
same 4 sets of traffic light LEDs, 60 I/O and FTDI USB solution but
changing the central CPLD/FPGA to differing technologies and vendors.
The result if all this will be a set of boards that can use common
test labs allowing a comparison of the different devices and
supporting software on a level-ish playing field and the question to
all of you is what other devices would you like us to support in this
family??
