I’d still like a decent first fpga. Guys? I’m still here guys! Please make me some FPGAs!
Sorry, you can have a cheap-ish FPGA that came out 10 years ago, or a new FPGA that costs more than your car and requires a $3000 software license to even program. Those are the only options allowed.
The new COP FPGAs are in the $100-400 range. Not cheap but nothing compared to the high end parts.
So Intel has abandoned the sub-100usd segment to AMD/Xilinx, Lattice, Efinix and Microchip?
