Hello Srikar (i hope this is your first name :) ),
I bought this board from Digilent which from what i understood is also
the manufacturer for all Xilinx development boards. They can fit a
S200, S400 or S1000 onto this board if you pay an extra fee. In my
case it was something like $50. I ordered this version because i was
afraid i will not be able to fit picoblaze into S200.
I downloaded picoblaze for Spartan chips and i will try to see if i
can solve the puzzle of actually creating a small program and then
compile everything and program the chip on my board.

Thank you for your time,
Dumitru

ST> Hi Dumitru,

ST>            I'm just wondering how come XC3s1000 board is landed over.
ST> Normally Xilinx develops boards for XC3S200 FPGAs. I have searched for the
ST> development boards in XILINX website for more information on the device you
ST> specified. But there were no such boards manufactured by Xilinx. I bilieve
ST> you might have caught up with the reseller board which is not at all good

ST> you browse through the below mentioned link.

ST>       On your other interest I suggest you to download picoblaze IP core
ST> from Xilinx website where in you can write your own assembly code and
ST> assemble it with the compiler that you download from the xilinx website
ST> before which you need to register at the below mentioned URL for accessing
ST> the downloads of Picoblaze. For any further clarification you can write to
ST> me.
