`08.May.2024`	Interview: Announcement of a cost-reduced MiSTer FPGA board Taki Udon recently presented the prototype of a cost-reduced version of the FPGA Amiga clone "MiSTer" in a video. Wes Fenlon has now interviewed him at the title link, so that details of the new board are now also available in writing. After the price of the DE10 Nano board, which forms the basis of the MiSTer, has almost doubled in the last five years, the clone of Terasic's original is being aimed at 99 US dollars, which is to be achieved through cheaper components and direct sourcing of the Xilinx FPGA chip from Altera. Taki Udon believes that the new board could be available in just a few months through the company he has founded with a partner. (Which company's first product will be something completely independent of the MiSTer, though.) Currently there is still a new revision to be tested, and compatibility with various extensions of the original MiSTer must also be ensured. Details of the new board compared to the DE10-Nano: A USB-C and a USB-A port instead of the mini and micro ports A JTAG header instead of a port Headers for additional USB and power supply Can be operated with 5 or 12 volts Optional housing A flagship console with all the bells and whistles in terms of analog and digital input and output, additional USB ports and soldered SD RAM is also planned for 200 to 250 US dollars, which should offer the functionality of popular current MiSTer extensions as well as new features. Initially, however, the board itself will be available to buy. After the flagship, a handheld version and consoles in the mid and lower price segments are planned. (snx) [News message: 08.
