If you want GPIOs, you don't need (or want) an FPGA.
I don't know the details of your use case, but I work with low level hardware driven by GPIOs and after a bit of investigation, concluded that having direect GPIO access in a modern PC was not necessary or desirable compared to the alternatives.
- errantspark 2y agoI get a lot of use out of the PRUs on the BeagleboneBlack, I would absolutely get use out of an FPGA in a laptop.
- dekhn 2y agoIt makes more sense to me to just use the BeagleboneBlack in concert with the FPGA. Unless you have highly specific compute or data movement needs that can't be satisfied over a USB serial link. If you have those needs, and you need a laptop, I guess an FPGA makes sense but that's a teeny market.
