@lupyuen Very persistent hackers reverse engineer the bitstreams of some "low end" FPGAs and developed all open source tooling to target them. With that tooling in place, slowly others are starting to take advantage to the point the FPGA vendors themselves are beginning to cooperate. I wasn't sure I'd ever see FPGA development open up. Thank you, hackers. Without you, the industry would likely still be closed up as ever with no signs of changing.
