15:06 <d1b2> <fishmonger> That was my initial instinct. "Glasgow seems great, I can just shove one into each place that needs some IO, just like I throw a RPi into things that needs CPU and limited IO". Now it's "Precious baby must be protected, that goes for you too RPi:s!".

15:06 <whitequark> that was the original design intent fwiw

15:06 <whitequark> to be a replacement for FT232

15:07 <whitequark> of course, even before the semiconductor shortages this wasn't really viable

15:09 <d1b2> <fishmonger> Perhaps not as a FT232 replacement, but I hope we can get back close enough to that situation eventually.

18:03 <cyborg_ar> whitequark: any thoughts about adding buffers to a cheap module like this as a future glasgow version? Dirt cheap, built in ram and ethernet https://www.led-card.com/colorlight-i5-receiving-card.html

18:04 <cyborg_ar> It has a ECP5 LFE5U-25F

18:05 <cyborg_ar> Two ethernet phys and 8MB of ram on board

21:14 <tpw_rules> does it have a base board?

21:15 <d1b2> <zyp> there's several

21:15 <d1b2> <zyp> I picked up two different ones from aliexpress
