[fpc-devel] Why is FPC so self-contained ?

For Linux you need the biggest processor ("f") which (in Altera speak ) 
needs 1400..1800 LEs and three M4Ks. I don't kn ow how LEs translate to 
LUTs and FFs. M4Ks are 4 K Bit block RAM units. You can configure I and 
D Caches which of course costs additional resources.

AFAIR,  $8 Cyclone has room for some four of those processors.
