Did anyone try out the CologneChip GateMate FPGA? It's supposed to have a completely open toolchain, but the dev board isn't exactly cheap at 230€ https://colo

- kvemkon 2y agoSome rather affordable dev board is: GateMateA1-EVB https://www.olimex.com/Products/FPGA/GateMate/GateMateA1-EVB/open-source-hardware https://www.olimex.com/Products/FPGA/GateMate/GateMateA1-EVB... This board has RP2040, not the successor RP2350. Still looking for similar board with 1Gbit-Ethernet.

Cool That looks nice! Thanks for the pointer > This board has RP2040, not the successor RP2350. > > Still looking for similar board with 1Gbit-Ethernet. Surprising indeed, that none of the two boards has Ethernet
