PROTOstic is a small
FPGA-based embedded computing product, designed for use as a flexible,
customizable embedded controller. Additionally, PROTOstic
can serve as a general purpose embedded FPGA co-processing element.
PROTOstic is also designed to fit into two of the microcontroller
slots in the rear of a RABA Core Foundry PROTEUS chassis.
