FPGA Dev Boards for $150 or Less

It's missing the best option for beginners: the UPduino[0]! It's a cheaper ($30) and more capable (39 GPIOs) alternative to the iCEstick or TinyFPGA BX. There's even a slightly more expensive variant with an onboard RP2040 microcontroller[1].

for the more expensive price class, there's also the glasgow interface explorer, which after a few years delay is finally shipping now

Glasgow isn't an FPGA development board. It has an FPGA in it, but it is explicitly not designed as a general-purpose board and would be poorly suited as one; get something else if that's what you're after.

That's very cool. We've gotten some other great suggestions from Reddit, too. Gonna add to this list! Thanks for sharing this!

   “ The following items cannot be shipped to your country and have been removed from your cart:

Great

If you're in the EU, you can order through their European storefront: https://lectronz.com/stores/tinyvision-ai-store

(Haven't tried it but they explicitly call it out in the shipping section.)

That's really disappointing. I was toying with the idea of getting one myself. But if it's basically twice as expensive I'm not sure.
