starts out a bit slow but has several interesting pieces of
information.

Several free and/or open source projects making up various parts of
an FPGA toolchain are mentioned. fpgatools is not mentioned, and
fills a gap which is mentioned in the presentation.

The presented framework works today and allows Linux userspace to
mmap() across EIM into cores on a Novena.

Andy predicts that encryption implemented on an FPGA is vulnerable to
a malicious FPGA vendor, because of the limited ways a particular
algorithm will fit onto the physical fabric.
