Just a PCB that has only a FPGA like EP2C20 or EP3C16/25 with 16bit SDRam and a big EPCS and all other IO's connected to a pin field, and of course the Vccint (and Vcca for EP3) via LDO like the firefly did but this pcb was only available with EP1C12 if i am right.

i knew a couple of fpga projects out there where the people do not want to solder such "tiny" pin to pin distances but they require just the above minimum and would like to connect their own stuff to the free FPGA pins.

if you have a usb blaster for this smal amount of money, why not integrating it to this minimal pcb ?

just a business idea...
