Painless FPGA programming: The alchitry AU kit can simplify projects that need a lot of input/output - [Hands on]
Stephen Cass · IEEE Spectrum · 2020
Once priced out of the reach of enthusiasts, field-programmable gate arrays have become affordable in recent years, and have started popping up in all kinds of neat projects. By the very nature of their reconfigurable hardware, FPGAs can be used in many different ways, such as implementing novel CPUs. But from a maker's point of view, a huge part of the attraction lies in the circuits' capacity for handling lots of input/output signals.
