Hi all,
I have spartan 3AN board and i need to connect a camera directly to it using the Differential I/O Connectors but i cant figuer out which camera will be suitabl for this direct conecction i checked the Linksprite Camera for Arduino and Microcontrollers 11SEN-10061 data sheet says that it outputs JPEG images through UART (TTL level) so is that suitable for direct connection with my spartan 3AN FPGA ?

Ahmed,
Which Spartan-3AN board are you using? Is this a standard FPGA development board, or is this a custom board design?
If this is a custom board design, specific board design details are important.
Are you new to FPGA design? If so, this seems like a poor choice for a beginner project -- you should learn the tools and the technology with smaller and simpler objectives.

Summary:
1. Read the manual or user guide. Have you read the manual? Can you find the manual?
2. Search the forums (and search the web) for similar topics.
3. Do not post the same question on multiple forums.
4. Do not post a new topic or question on someone else's thread, start a new thread!
5. Students: Copying code is not the same as learning to design.
6 "It does not work" is not a question which can be answered. Provide useful details (with webpage, datasheet links, please).
7. You are not charged extra fees for comments in your code.
8. I am not paid for forum posts. If I write a good post, then I have been good for nothing.

I am using xilinx Spartan 3an standard evaluation board
Do you mean the Spartan-3AN Starter Kit?
Next questions:
- What FPGA designs have you successfully completed, so far? Are you an experienced designer or a beginner?
- Are you a student? Or is this a commercial design?
- What is the overall goal or requirement of your design?

What is the application? That will tend to drive the camera decision. And are you talking about raw sensor or a fully-built camera? If the latter, what sort of interface does it present to the outside world?
What does the FPGA need to do in the system, anyway?
