Really not true. All the low cost boards I am familiar with (Altera based DE0,
DE0 Nano, DE1 from Terasic, Spartan 3 boards from Digilent) all have embedded
flash EEPROM for image storage.
During development and testing you can download directly from the host PC into
device configuration RAM for testing, but when you are ready to 'burn' the image
you just program it into the serial EEPROM which is loaded at next power on.
