Don't worry overly about it. My point was that dealing with all the layers of an OS software stack adds complexity, and there ought to be a reason for complexity (accessing the network seems like a valid one :). And yes… once you reach that level of complexity, patching becomes somewhat necessary. > There is a chip I've been keeping an eye on. > It's got an ARM dual core cortex A9 MPCore > and about 150k FPGA gates in a single chip. > > It's called "zynq" and is being hyped by xilinx. > Not currently available for sale, but beta testers > apparently have it and are doing things with it. > […] > There is a development board called the zed-board > > http://www.zedboard.org/ Looks interesting. Turning the tables on you, how do we CS guys learn to play in the FPGA world without investing a month or two studying?
