If I remember well, smalltalkers from britany have worked on FPGA design on visualwork. I think there were Loic Lagadec, Alain Plantec and Bernard Pottier. https://www.ensta-bretagne.fr/lagadec/ Maybe they can help here ;-) Cheers, Cedrick

not quite what you asked, but... apart from their size, one advantage of FPGAs and Arduino & ESP32 microprocessors over purpose CPUs is providing deterministic real-time latency (i.e. sensor inputs controlling motors). For that domain a strong contender in a Pi-like format is the Programmable Realtime Unit of the BeagleBone Black. http://beagleboard.org/pru
40x faster response time than the main CPU of BeagleBone (and Pi). See slide 11... https://elinux.org/images/1/1c/Birkett--enhancing_rt_capabilities_with_the_p...

The background is that we did little things with the PharoThings toolkit and want to research which other combinations like Arduino, ESP32, FPGAs are there to be a good extensions to a Pi.
Any hint is welcomed!
Thanks,
