What is needed:
Suitable ARM+FPGA board design - Raspberry Pi + Pixie

Production in higher numbers - they are doing it in very
high numbers for RPi and Fpga board is below 100$ even if
you make only 10 pieces

68k JIT for ARM CPUs - not yet at least ;)

How? There is some expansion port on Pi for FPGA?

If not, you need new board design.

Thanks, that explains it. If that FPGA is big enough for Amiga chipset, then only ARM JIT (and software/firmware to put it all together) is needed.


Edit: I see it has only 200000 gates (half of Minimig FPGA).

Well it should be only half of Minimig big

Minimig has some extra gates I think so it can
use extra features such as turbo mode or SD
Cards as a floppy I think ...

200 000 gates should be enough for a project ...

Bigger question is if UAE on the Pi side can use
that FPGA but I think the answer is yes although
making it won't be easy ...

That is the software/firmware side of problem I mentioned. Sure, idea is nice, but it would be too hard to make it reality.

@pavlor

The idea has evolved from UAE in firmware to light
weight linux and than again to Aros for RPi

Please pay attention

It can be done but you would need professionals
on the job . wouldn't be that big of a project though ...

I mean for them ...
