element14 has a Lark Board RoadTest in the enrollment phase. This is a good chance to play with and keep a US$800 high-end Altera FPGA board with dual ARM Cortex-A9 and high-performance DSP suitable for image processing.

Lark is designed (and priced) for high end image and other signal processing, which isn't something I do these days. I'm most interested in inexpensive FPGA boards with Spartan-3A/3E or Spartan-6 that students or hobbyists can afford so they can use my Flavia: the Free Logic Array.
