I stumbled upon a board called the “Zynqberry” which is supposed to mimic a Raspberry Pi but with a Xilinx Zyn-7000 FPGA board present.
This board aims to be an FPGA-enabled version of the Raspberry Pi and comes with a 100MBit connector. Unfortunately it does not support 10 Gigabit. I mean, how could it with such a small footprint?
Anyway, this board will be perfect for me to demonstrate certain things that will make FPGA programming accessible to a hobbyist not willing to shell out thousands of dollars and to a student on a limited budget.
Here is a link to a detailed getting started guide:
And a link to where you can purchase this board yourself:

My goal? Demonstrate how to solve High-Performance Computing problems using the 100Mbit connector. Perhaps I will re-visit some of the first articles on this site and start from there.
And a link to what appears to be the official site of the manufacturer in Germany:
