On top of that a Malta is just an ATX-format base board which needs a CPU card. A typical CPU card contains one or two of the biggest FPGAs money can buy so the CPU itself can be replaced by loading a bitfile. That is very appealing to hardware developers but the FPGA dictate a very juicy price. Ralf
