Populated with a Xilinx Spartan-3A 400A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), the kit is claimed to be a cost-effective solution for designers evaluating or testing their design targeting low-cost, high-volume applications.
Designers can use the Spartan-3A kit for general FPGA prototyping, investigating the Xilinx MicroBlaze soft processor, experimenting with multiple FPGA configuration techniques, and proving out low cost design methods. An Avnet-developed Windows-based application programs the FPGA and configuration memories through the supplied USB interface.
The Xilinx Spartan-3A FPGA Evaluation Kit includes a Spartan-3A Evaluation Board, Xilinx ISE Design Suite 10.1 WebPACK and evaluation DVD, Avnet programming utility, USB cable, and several design tutorials.
In addition to the Spartan-3A FPGA, the board features the PSoC Mixed Signal Array from Cypress, a silicon oscillator from Maxim Integrated Technologies, SPI and parallel NOR Flash memory from Spansion and a power supply and several power management devices from Texas Instruments.
The Spartan-3A FPGA Evaluation Kit is being introduced exclusively by Avnet. For more information or to purchase, please visit: www.em.avnet.com/spartan3a-evl.

The price on the Avnet web site is $49, not $39. Still not bad but a big markup from the price stated.

Now the avnet url at the bottom of the article is broken. A search of the avnet site could not find this kit either.
