You can find a LOT cheaper these days, the ICE40 eval boards are very nice.<p>The cheapest one is a USB stick[0] doesn&#x27;t have a lot of &#x27;peripherals&#x27; but is 15 quid, and self contained. While the most expensive one is 25 quid, has the bigger FPGA, and has most of the IOs exposed.<p>As mentioned into today&#x27;s other FPGA thread[3], they work with the open source toolchain too[4]!<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;uk.farnell.com&#x2F;lattice-semiconductor&#x2F;ice40hx1k-stick-evn&#x2F;ice40-hx1k-icestick-eval-kit&#x2F;dp&#x2F;2355207" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;uk.farnell.com&#x2F;lattice-semiconductor&#x2F;ice40hx1k-stick-...</a>
