New a FGPA emulates UNO with extra's

clem57

I was out of the country since October and saw this this XLR8 FPGA-Accelerated Arduino Clone Kickstarter is Live | EE Times. After reading the article , they said;

If you have a project that's using an Uno, you can swap in an XLR8 board right out of the box, and it will just work. You won't even know you're actually running your sketch on an FPGA, at least not until you fire up one of the accelerated functions... and then the magic happens.

Interesting so I looked up the https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/814866572/xlr8-arduino-compatible-fpga-based-application-acc

and sad to see the goal may not be reached, Anyone have comments why?

    I think not enough noise  so that not a lot of people know about it (I didn't know about this campaign although I'm following FPGA related blogs/tweets),

    a price of $65 is maybe too high for an impulsive click on the "Back this Project" button (although it is a normal price for an FPGA dev board),

    and the fact that FPGA isn't that popular -  so the pool of possible crowdfunders may be low.

     

    Maybe let's check how many FPGA dev board kickstarters actually got funded?
