Working with the Xilinx Virtex-E FPGA in a huge BGA package

A fully assembled board

So there it is, all fully assembled and looking really nice. This has been an interesting project for me and I’ve learned a lot of new things along the way. I know now that BGAs can be reflowed by hobbyists as long as we can have the boards manufactured at reasonable cost. Best of all is that I’ve got a nice Virtex FPGA development board that I can play around with.

Video and final words

I’ve put together a video of my experience creating this design and you can watch it here on YouTube. Alternatively head off over to the main youtube site and wach it in full HD.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this write-up and perhaps watching the video as much as I enjoyed creating them. Please feel free to leave your comments in the section below or maybe you’d like to chat about this project over in the forum.
