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."

MicroBlaze doesn't provide anywhere near the CPU processing power that a Raspberry Pi provides. This project looks like a fine way to get some hardware acceleration on the standard open hacker computer platforms. You know, with Linux!
