I see old cryptomining control boards with FPGAs (28k gates) are available cheap now that they're being replaced.
20:22
< Yossarian>
Anyone with VHDL knowledge and OS knowledge? I wonder how difficult it would be to have a FPGA add-on card to say a ARM laptop and then write a driver for the FPGA's programmed circuit and have it mounted under /dev ?
20:22
<&McMartin>
I have very little knowledge of those things
20:22
<&McMartin>
BUT
20:23
<&McMartin>
That kind of project sounds tailor-made for single-board computers with generous amounts of GPIO, and the Raspberry Pi would fit that bill
20:25
< Yossarian>
I only know that things like VHDL is like writing software but moreso you're designing gates and things. There are some FPGAs on SoC with ARM chips already but yeah, something like RPi4 being the host would be perfect.

< Yossarian>
I suppose these types of things do exist: https://hackaday.com/2018/05/31/tiny-fpga-board-fits-in-your-laptop/

Yossarian: I can highly recommend https://www.nand2tetris.org/ for learning the basics of hardware description programming, among many other things.

< Yossarian>
some crazy bastard made a Z80 in a $4k FPGA he found in a lab cleanout, in a ring topology I guess. I think that's on hackaday, too.
20:48
< Yossarian>
16 core Z80
