[sdiy] Actel Fusion

[Barry Klein]

Another platform that may have potential for us is the Actel Fusion.  I
guess it has been out for some time but today is the first I had heard of
it.  Basically an FPGA along with analog modules/channels and conversion.
Here is a waveform generator app note:

I wonder how much of the part this takes up?  There are temperature,
voltage, and current sensing circuits in the chip as well.  Anyone have any
experience with it and have an idea of chip costs and the fusion starter kit
cost?  They talk of a choice between ARM and 8051 soft core processor for
the FPGA too.  Would that be free or?  Got an idea of part costs?
