Ah, I'm mostly hoping to learn how it works and what I can do with it. Trying to find a hardware-based pet project!

Buy yourself a TinyFPGA BX.
It’s a small (tiny!) FPGA board that’s still large enough to run a RISC-V CPU. It’s a full open source flow. And there are plenty of examples.
Get that first LED blinking!

Or an UPduino which is still cheaper. I've had good experiences with one, though I'm only at the "PWM-animated LED" stage right now.
Oh, and https://www.nand2tetris.org is great. You implement a simple CPU, and though the language isn't a real-world one you learn enough to probably be able to implement a similar CPU on an FPGA using VHDL or Verilog.
