Catching up on some PCB assembly in the shop today. Collected a little bit of a backlog. #fpga #opensource #manufacturing #electronics

Et voici quelques nouveaux jouets qui viennent de chez @olimex : une carte #FPGA ice40 , une carte avec des connecteurs VGA et PS/2, et un clone d'Arduino (qui va servir pour programmer le FPGA).
Et le plus beau c'est que la suite de développement est 100% open source !

Do people just not use PLD or CPLDs anymore? I'm working on a project that they'd be kinda perfect for, but it seems like it's kind of a backwater. And, if people are still using them, what are the best (if there are any at all) open source toolchains?

Thanks!
(Boosts welcome)
