Thanks for that. The variation I'd go for is the

https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/Documentation/AtlasSoCDevelopmentPlatform


(Looks like Rocket Boards have made the system and 'TerASIC' are a
supplier.)


They also have:

DE0-Nano Development and Education Board
http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=139&No=593

That uses the same FPGA including ARM but without the RAM and ethernet.


Nicely spoilt for choice thanks.

More of a decider for me is for whichever system has the richer FLOSS
ecosystem...

(Anyone in the group using these able to give a talk? Have the Hackspace
discovered these??)


Thanks,
Martin
