That kinda sucks.
if you program the firmware directly your program can be stored, but it requires you to also buy the firmware writing tool and the FPGA unlocked version of the product (FPGA can be locked after writing it naturally)
Oh, that's cool
Yea, what is the expected use in this case?
From what I can gather it is intended to be an open source hardware security key, or key generator, not really a usable personal computer
A key generator where the code to generate the key has to be loaded on every time it's plugged in?
As someone else said, you can overwrite the firmware if you get the unlocked one and the flashing tool, then you can relock it
