I'm asking about the FPGA itself - not boards or IP cores or toolchain.The only thing I've found while searching is https://git.slaanesh.org/kfpga/kfpga which is still very new and small, but inspiring.What are the major hurdles that have prevented people from creating an open source FPGA design? 17 points orndorffgrant 6 years ago 10 comments
