M.2 FPGA Hardware Accelerator Devboard
This is my in-progress FPGA hardware accelerator! It'll essentially plug into an SSD slot on your computer, and function as a programmable FPGA fabric that you can use to practice hardware acceleration and other things in HDL! Not just that though, it also functions as a standalone devboard with USB to JTAG and HDMI and ontop of that, you can use it for hybrid purposes involving external devices AND your computer!

Check JOURNAL.md
I journal a LOT so please check my journal.md for details on my project. It's at 172 hours as of writing this, but it's moreso 200 - 300 hours...
The project still isn't finished, but it's getting really close! There's only 17 unrouted nets, and I also still have to wire HDMI and UART!
Feel free to reach out if you need any clarification about the project and the images in the journal should showcase it really well so far!
A couple fun facts, but it currently has about 1560 pads, probably about 500+ components, 726 via's, 5623 track segments and 435 nets on a 6 layer, 22x80mm form factor.
