But still, equipping your home lab can be costly when you consider
some of the potential items: JTAG debugger, Code Composer (what, $3000?
ouch!), Matlab (which most companies buy and provide to you), scopes,
DMMs, microscopes. Not impossible, and much more within reach than
in the past, but still a little pricey (for my salary at least!).
The test equipment is downright cheap compared to the cost of the development software I use in my business (DSP applications for FPGAs). Even Matlab is comparatively cheap.

Hi Ray,
I always thought MATLAB was wildly expense.
Some time ago I talked to a guy at Lockheed-Martin who purchased MATLAB for a single PC.
He told me the cost was $18,000 (18 thousand)!!
Although he did say that he bought 3 or 4 toolboxes.
$18,000 sure seems like a lot to me.
See Ya',

Depends on what toolboxes you get with it. If you limit your selection of toolboxes, it is far more reasonable. The mathworks website lists the current price for an individual license at $1,900 for Matlab by itself, and $800 for the signal processing toolbox. That is my set-up, plus the matching simulink tools. Those prices are less than just the annual maintenance on some of the logic synthesis and simulation tools. It is a lot of money, but for someone like me, it is just factored into the cost of doing business.
