LOGi FPGA 开发板：可在树莓派和Beaglebone上开发FPGA

 最近在Kickstarter网站上，Valent F(x)团队正在为LOGi FPGA开发板的生产筹备资金。

LOGi 是fpga开发与arm平台的结合。Valent F(x)团队开发了可以支持树莓派和Beaglebone上开发的FPGA开发板，LOGi系列。它让FPGA开发与入门变得简单，同时趋于统一现存硬件接口和开源开发平台，如树莓派和Beaglebone Black这两个流行的开源开发平台。

Valent F(x)团队分别针对树莓派和Beaglebone Black开发了两个版本的LOGi板，如下图的LOGi-Pi和LOGi-Bone。LOGi-Pi的FPGA板的底部连接器可与树莓派的GPIO头连接，LOGi-Bone的FPGA板有两行的连接器可与Beaglebone Black 2x46引脚头相连接。不需要JTAG或者繁杂的命令，只需要在树莓派或者Beaglebone Black平台的终端输入logi_loader.bit，就可以运行LOGi板。
