First, I am not assiciated with Xess or Insight in any way
and I am not promoting their products in any way on an
open forum.

but u can look at the boards available form xess

thier CPLD board with 8031(ROM-less 8051) uC is about 129$
it works with WebPack and programming software is free.
http://www.xess.com/prod015.php3

A board with a 50K Gate Spartan-II FPGA  is about 150$

http://www.xess.com/prod027.php3

or from the ones form Insight

www.insight-electronics.com

Their CPLD and FPGA boards are also modestly priced.


I am sure u know that making your own board (even with all the instructions)
can a be quite time consuming.

But still opencores has some desings of protyping boards.

Hope this helps!
