Unfortunaly, I really can't afford an FPGA. Not even a "cheap" one.
Even though I know an FPGA is completely different from a CPU, I was planning to use it for some quite silly things, and if I could run them as a simulation, that would probably be acceptable. Since GHDL is also a compiler, I expected I could use it... But I think I'm giving up that idea for now.... Thanks guys.
