Agreed and one of the things that makes me think the students I mentor might not field the XU4 is that they only asked for it the 1st week of the competition.
Success with this is very much based on what you put into it.
Sure they have what they need from me right now but it is already week 2.
6 weeks might not be enough commit for them to optimize either.
It doesn't bother me. If this rolls into the summer it's still a good use case and there's enough hardware I can work with them till next year and open source the results.
If I were a team hurting for resources and unsure of the skill level we have I wouldn't be rushing to implement this right now. Might be better to wait for some more HowTo and example cases.
Yikes: the cheapest shipping option for the Terasic board is $25? The board itself is only $99.
Seriously?:
