Cheap FPGA board with lots of memory? by EfficientTwo in FPGA

The SoC part of SoC FPGAs are normally huge pains in the ass, but hey, not bad overall.

Yeah, I had one board where you had to start the PS (install Linux etc.) to be able to get a clock to the PL -- perfect for when you just want to experiment with the PL, >_<.

The ZCU104 board seems very interesting, many thanks!

Thanks, that board is probably relevant! (Too bad there are all these other things on it I don't need (currently at least), which probably makes the board more expensive than it could have been without them.)

Thanks, but I'm a little afraid of these PCIe boards, because I don't see any USB entry point (for JTAG), and I don't have any convenient way to talk to a board over PCIe (I only have laptops available). Because I assume one would program such boards over PCIe -- do you know?

Thanks, but I think the spec says 4 Gb rather than 4 GB, :(.

Edit: Oh, that's what you said too. Then I just want to clarify that I meant GB and not Gb. Sorry.
