Not to snipe this post or anything, but you can get a Xilinx zynq 7000/7010 on Aliexpress for ~$20 right now (likely old bitcoin mining boards being tossed).

Clearly you haven't had the pleasure of completing any production grade projects using 'Xilinx Vivado', or for an even richer experience they're repackaged Eclipse 'Xilinx SDK'.

I really hope yosys matures and is adopted in large numbers in industry, to become a de-facto gcc equivalent for FPGA compilation. Decoupling FPGA designs from the half-baked tools that vendors push out would be real progress.

Maybe depends on where you are, but I got this board with shipping to Europe for ~14USD a few weeks ago
