[chbot] Low cost Altera FPGA, anyone used http://wvshare.com ?

[Paul Davey]

Hi Mark,

>From what I can see that board carries a cyclone 4 fpga, however their
website only goes up to cyclone 3, so I would think it may just be really
slow website updating.
Also they seem to be a Chinese company, aren't most export restrictions
from the US?
