在網(wǎng)上發(fā)現(xiàn)有人做一個設備，用spartan-6做的，叫Milkymist one ，這個真的很強大啊，說明FPGA的應用領域可以很廣！以下是原創(chuàng)者的介紹：
Milkymist one 包括了一個計算機所有的東西。我總是在幻想將來 Milkymist one 會成為一個功能十分強大的設備。 MilkyMist one 有一個特點。沒有CPU。有的只是一塊FPGA。你可以把你想要的東西寫到這個FPGA里。讓它變成你想要的設備?，F(xiàn)在 Milkymist one 更像一個 VJ station. 運行著LM32，操作系統(tǒng)是 RTEMS. 程序叫做 FlickerNoise.
The Milkymist One is an open hardware product that concentrates all the processing power and the interfaces of an heavily interactive VJ setup into one small box. With a unique combination of built-in interfaces such as MIDI, DMX512, analogue video input, Ethernet, OpenSoundControl and generic digital I/O, it gives you all the tools to create truly interactive performances.
With the Milkymist SoC, the project pushes the frontiers of open source further. While many open hardware projects are based on a proprietary and closed processor, at the core of the Milkymist One lies a custom embedded processor whose Verilog HDL design files are entirely free and open source.
All of this would never be usable by everybody without user-friendly VJ software optimized for running on the system. Inspired by the popular MilkDrop visualization plug-in for Winamp, Flickernoise provides a graphical tool that allows you to create, set-up and run the visual performances.
The Milkymist One will be a turnkey interactive VJ station. Before the software is ready for this more general public usage, we sell developer kits to pioneers who can stand a few software problems and embedded devices enthusiasts who would enjoy developing on this open source platform. Thanks to the extreme flexibility of the FPGA, many uses can be imagined.

Steampunk DIY case
Thanks Joachim Steiger from Raumfahrtagentur for this DIY case design, that you can reproduce yourself with a laser cutter.
