Be forwarned, when I bought one, I had to email back and forth for a couple weeks with Xilinx and sign some legal stuff before they would ship it, even within the US. Might've been ITAR but they wanted to be really sure I wasn't going to build a guided missile with it.


I wonder if they could just put a fuse in the silicon that blows out if subjected to beyond a reasonable acceleration or abrupt altitude change?


I'm planning on ordering one via Digikey, but that's fine. I work in the US defense industry regardless, so I shouldn't have too much trouble.


When I bought one a year ago in the US I had no issues. I guess their insistence on it being a neural network inference device has bit them in the ass.
