If you don't care about the DSP units you can pick up a CPLD kit for ~$20 [1]. [1] http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/lattice-semiconductor-corporation/L

  You can also get a "real" -- albeit small -- FPGA from Lattice for $25: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/lattice-semiconductor-corporation/ICE40HX1K-STICK-EVN/220-2656-ND/4289604 http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/lattice-semiconduct... The Arty is a much more capable board, though.

    What do you like about the Arty? I'm considering the parallella board, which is around the same price. https://www.parallella.org/board/ https://www.parallella.org/board/

      Between the two I'd recommend the Arty without hesitation. The Parallella is intended as a demonstration board for the Epiphany SOC. The $99 model has no GPIOs or JTAG interface, making it essentially unusable for FPGA development; the higher-end models will still be awkward to work with. The Arty is intended for FPGA development, and is much better suited for it -- built-in JTAG controller, lots of GPIOs on easily accessible connectors, user I/Os, etc.
