Has anyone thought about projects to use the onboard FPGA? :inquisitive:

I guess it could be used for various hardware acceleration tasks (media codecs etc) since the Sam CPU is rather weak.
Does it have access to system RAM?

I think the FPGA is dead weight that not even Acube sees a purpose with (or else we whould have seen a use for it already) and only makes the design more expensive. I had hoped they would have removed it in the Flex design, but that doesn't seem to be the case?

Many interesting ideas. However, some of them are simply not realistic, and some others would better be achieved by regular PCI cards. But a lot of creative ideas nevertheless! :-)
