As you say, as the parts have become cheaper, non

becoming less interesting. I had hoped to split the
custom things that I needed to do into the FPGA, and leverage the
jellybean stuff to the microcontroller where I have more
experience and there should be more running code available (assuming you
can pull the toolchain together and have it work
with the code that's out there).
To get a toolchain for ARM/MIPS/m68k/ZPU is just a matter of few hours.
Then you just have to dive into the many millions of interesting
versions of the startup code. But this isn't really a problem ...
