But: there's always the possibility to choose

board, and mount it as SOM over a larger board that would include only psu
and bus level translators.
A couple of approaches come to mind:
1) Use one of the lower-cost Xilinx Zynq development boards as its brain.
2) Use a Spartan 6 FPGA in a TQFP package, with a BeagleBone Black as its brain.
Nice. FWIW, there's a BBB daughercard ("cape") that's essentially an
FPGA development board. Spartan 6, in fact. Info here:
