Want a FPGA Board For Your Raspberry Pi Or Beagle Bone?

New submitter hamster_nz writes "Hot topics for the maker community are things such as embedded vision, Bitcoin mining, autonomous vehicle control, Arduino, Open Hardware, software defined radio, small ARM/Linux boards and reconfigurable computing. A current Kickstarter project, LOGi FPGA, is touching all these bases. Funding has been reached after just a day, and Kicktraq currently has it projected to reach over $133,000. As a long time FPGA enthusiast I'm very interested to see what will happen when a thousand keen users get together to explore programmable logic."

The LOGI-bone is compatible with beaglebone and beaglebone-black. On the Beaglebone-black it will de-activate the eMMC because the lines are shared with the GPMC.

Hi, the Xilinx Web edition toolchain (free of charge) supports the spartan6 LX9. Synthesis time is a bit longer than when you own an "expensive" license but the LX9 is a small FPGA so you'll never wait too long to get the synthesis done. Regards, Jonathan Piat LOGI-team
