Thanks.

The user programble FPGA is a Xilinx XC3S50A, connected to the systems 
medium speed LPC bus. A custom option would also be a pin compatible 
XC2S200A.

And before somebody ask "why not the PCIe bus", a PCIe bus is much more 
complex and would require minimum a 8 times as expensive FPGA and there 
are no free PCIe core. The LPC bus is very simple and there are plenty 
of code floating around, we will provide the basics.

The Lattice FPGA is part of CPU control and power manangement.
