I just talked to tech support today and they said that the FPGA on the
TS-7800 is not really meant to be "user-programmable", due to some
proprietary license for the CF card on the board or something of the
sort. He also said they did not have any estimate about a future date
in which they would support that FPGA to be user-programmable and that
I could either pay them $500-$600 to make me a custom core, or switch
to the TS-7300 which has more FPGA support. I can't tell you how many
times I saw the words "USER-PROGRAMMABLE FPGA" in the TS-7800's
documentation. That was half the reason I bought eight of them.
Needless to say, I am perturbed with this company...
