>>16308>Is there such a thing as an FPGA-based laptop platform?No, but you can get relatively small and power efficient single-board computers, that have a normal cpu and a FPGA,
>It seems to me that an FPGA device would be much harder to backdoorNot sure why you think it's harder to backdoor an FPGA than a regular chip.
The goal should be to commandeer the "backdoor infrastructure" in the chips and repurpose it for something useful.
Find their backdoortech, turn it on it's head and use it to improve your security.
>>16311>Do you want to run your CPU on the FPGA?People do that for retro emulation, those are much faster than software emulation.
Making the FPGA do the same as a normal CPU would be very inefficient, the other anon seems to think that would have security advantages for some reason. However if we had an optimized software stack we could use FPGAs as accelerators, there is no security benefit, but it would be kinda neet.
