Now ALtera, Xilinx and now QUIK have ARM cores paired with eFPGA 


Really popular idea now ;-)

But ARM has a noticable weak spot..ARM=NO eFPGA. (?)

QUIK been down a long time and its natural to conclude they ain't got no FPGA IP worth one thin dime.
Not true.

Correct anything that is wrong with this line of thought. 

THanks in advance.
