Here is what we can find on their web site :
The default TS-7800 FPGA load provides a standard PC/104 bus on the
104-pin connectors, maintaining compatibility with our other ARM SBCs
and wide range of PC/104 peripheral boards. In addition, Technologic
Systems will make available bitstreams for GPIO and PCI bus functionality
I was told in march that the fpga load with PCI bus functionality will
never be released, unless a customer would be willing to pay for it.
They also said the linux utility that would allow us to program the
fpga of the 7800 would be available in a couple more weeks. Again that
was in march...
