i suppose "a journalist operating in hostile situations" should be better served by some kind of "steganographic solution", then a pretty shiny Precursor

i do not think the Chinese can understand the long term value of this open toolchain (as it will not make them sell MORE chips in the short term. that's IMHO their only expected ROI for any effort..).
anyway i've recently got a nic(h)e board Lichee Tang (http://tang.lichee.pro/) sporting a "weird" Anlogic Eagle FPGA, that's also sold with a 1o1 "pin compatible feature" against similar parts from X & A(I) manufacturers.
that's tells a lot about their marketing practices!
