Ok, I think I maybe understand the miscommunication here. OGD is intended to BE the device you go out and buy as a test bed for the development of OGA.
So, you're asking if we could use some other device to be the test bed for OGD. Actually, there are some (rather expensive) devices on the market that are similar enough that we could do that. But our priority right now is to get the hardware done. The bitfile can come later since OGD is intended to be a generic device that can do whatever you want to program it for. Or am I still missing what you're trying to say? Sorry...
