The MiniZED is $89 and a ton of fun! It has an ARM processor (Xilinx Zynq XC7Z007S SoC), Arduino compatible daughterboard connectors, microcontroller-like peripheral mix, and runs linux.

Oh, and Vivado (the FPGA development IDE) is free (as in beer) for that FPGA as well as Xilinx' other mid to low end FPGAs.
- exmadscientist 6y agoThe XC7Z007S is $46 in volume at distributors (though with no volume discounts; Xilinx pricing is weird). Zynq chips are beautiful parts. But they are not "low-cost drop-in" anything. They are chips that you can architect an entire system around and replace a dozen other chips with. I know; I've done it. (But they didn't bite on our proposal, so my sketched architecture remained just a detailed sketch.)
