Since there are so many boards out there in the market, its difficult for a beginners like me to choose one. Also does the board comes with a programmer circuit on the board or do i have to buy a programmer separately. I would also love a board which also has an FPGA on it.
Hi Steve,
Arm offers the MPS range of development platforms, allowing you to implement your own IP alongside the Arm processor itself. See:https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/development-boards/fpga-prototyping-boardsYou may well also wish to look into the DesignStart FPGA program:https://www.arm.com/resources/designstart/designstart-fpgaRegards

Designing one's own chip is not a beginner's project!!
I really don't think designing one's own chip is a suitable project for someone who can't even select a ready-made dev board?
