Hello all, My Dec 2020 issue of IEEE *Spectrum* magazine has an article entitled "Painless FPGA programming", beginning on page 19. It hypes a thing called the 'Alchitry AU kit', which includes a development board and associated SW. See: https://alchitry.com/products/alchitry-au-fpga-development-board for more details. This is being made available through Sparkfun and some of the usual sources like Mouser etc. This caught my eye because during my stint at Arecibo, I often worked with high speed signal processing equipment designed and built by 3rd parties, which used FPGAs to good advantage to do miraculous stuff at incredible speeds. While I do not personally feel the ambition to get involved with this stuff, some of you might. Disclosure: As far as I know, I do not hold any interest (financial or otherwise) in the company *Alchitry.* Dana K8YUM Kerrville, TX
