I did consider iCE40 (mainly due to the icestorm/yosys project) for our project at the time but they weren't available I believe, I will have to look into it again. Unfortunately a microcontroller was not really an option as the ones we generally use don't have a input FIFO buffer/peripheral fast enough (clocked 25Mbit/s) although there may be others that can, we didn't look further in to it as it seemed like a pretty expensive option given the simplicity of the circuit and the HDL that was already finished.
- mazurnification 3y agoRaspberry Pi has microcontroller that may work for you (RP2040) it has programmable IO thingy that is quite impressive). Anyway regarding small FPGAs/CPLDs - i am passively keeping eye on small/inexpensive parts - and as far as I know it is not field abound with options (Cypress PSOC, LAttice iCE40, small CPLD from Altera(Intel)/Xilinx(AMD)). Just learned about GreenPAK (Dialog and now Renesas) and I am quite thrilled. Do not know how it could fly under my radar.
