Has any one used the Z-Board , i'm looking to develop some machine controllers using it and the 7" touchscreen etc
and wonder if it is actually up to it , due to the fact , i believe to use the Touchscreen and HDMI to best advantage
an IP Core and approprate licence is required , so therefore a cost .
so is this board worth using , or anyone know of a better board , or reference design etc .

i have asked if they can supply the dvd software via download for evaluation etc , but not heard back yet

The Chinese guys seem to always get their IP cores for free - they refuse to pay for them, so the FPGA guys shrug their shoulders, cave in, and settle for having sold some silicon.
