AWS EC2 FPGA Hardware and Software Development Kit
As a side note, there is this board (and others):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.olimex.com&#x2F;Products&#x2F;FPGA&#x2F;iCE40&#x2F;iCE40HX1K-EVB&#x2F;open-source-hardware" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.olimex.com&#x2F;Products&#x2F;FPGA&#x2F;iCE40&#x2F;iCE40HX1K-EVB&#x2F;ope...</a><p>which has a much-smaller FPGA on it. However the advantage of this board is that the entirety of the toolchain you can use to program it, is open source.<p>This board is a little more powerful (but still way less powerful than the AWS FPGA), and will use the same basic toolset from Xilinx (EDIT: see comment and recommendation for a better board, below from aseipp):<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;numato.com&#x2F;mimas-v2-spartan-6-fpga-development-board-with-ddr-sdram&#x2F;#feaandspec" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;numato.com&#x2F;mimas-v2-spartan-6-fpga-development-board-...</a><p>The LISPM FPGA implementation, <i>may</i> work on this board, but I have not bought one yet to test it.<p>----<p>Looking at it more, I think I was sure that it was a $2K part because I thought the AWS instance price was under $2 per hour - so there was no way they could make their money back!<p>Now that I see the price is about $14 per hour, it makes sense that (making a guess they won&#x27;t always be utilized) they could in fact recoup their costs after about 18 months or 2 years.
