Dear followers,
I know it has been a long time now I last posted update on this project, however I can assure everyone that this project is not dead. As everyone knows there is a global chip shortage which impacts the commercial release of FPGATED. Unfortunately at the moment the prices and delivery times of FPGAs are not making this replacement a cost effective solution.
In the meantime I have redesigned it to v2 HW version using a smaller BGA chip and a HDMI connector. Also the bus switch I have used is End of Sale so I had to redesign it using TI chip for voltage translation.

At the moment I am in the challenge of hand soldering it and then test the HDMI output. When ready I will post more pictures and video about it.
After that the production can start and I want to make it available. In order to make it even more cost effective I am planning to shift to Spartan7 FPGA in v3 version (which I am currently unavailable to procure even for prototyping).
Please be patient.

Awesome! I really hope it will be available for purchase!

Great job! Keep my fingers crossed! I hope your TED will go to production soon!
