Another suggestion is to contact your local Xilinx FAE and ask them for
a copy of the tool set for the larger FPGA. Also ask them why they
don't include the larger device in the no cost Web Pack. I never
understood why all the devices weren't included in the Web Pack. The

Well here is one alternative. The S3-1500 is pin compatible with the 2000.
If enough people wish to purchase a special version with the smaller FPGA I
can have a number of them built that way. You would have to do
to insufficient resources.

Please note that the USRP2 uses a Spartan 3-2000 chip. This means that
if you intend to do your own FPGA development, you need to use the full

cannot use the free web pack version. Thus there are several options
