Papilio user Magnusk made a very interesting FPGA board that he calls Pipistrello, in the past he used some different papilio boards and he like them but he wanted a board with HDMI interface, lots of RAM for buffering, high-speed USB for data streaming and SD-card for data storage.
So the only option left was to make my own board – basically merging the fpga and LPDDR from the LX9-Microboard with the formfactor, wing interface and tool-set from Papilio, then adding all the needed interfaces on-board (and then some more to make it more interesting).
