TITLE: DSP/FPGA EDUCATIONAL PLATFORM

A printed circuit board containing both a DSP (Texas  Instruments
C6x)  and  a  FPGA  (Xilinx Virtex) is now available at a reduced
price for educational institutions.  The SBC6x can  be  used  for
software  and  hardware  co-verification for communication signal
processing.  The board presently supports either  the  XCV300  or
the  XCV800  (but not the Virtex-II).  The price for universities
in North America is $2,995 (US) and $3200 elsewhere.

The SBC6x is a low-cost/educational version of  the   'C67x-based
SignalMaster  which does support up to XC2V6000.  The educational
discount on the hardware is 15% (except for the  SBC6x  which  is
already educationally priced).

Also, the vendor gives a 50%-educational discount  on  associated
software which includes MATLAB/SIMULINK and System Generator from
Xilinx.
