So basically we're looking at a 7mm square MCU paired with a 9mm square FPGA. Assuming we use the full 37 FMC pins between the two, the MCU will have 75 free IOs and the FPGA will have 36. Not a ludicrous number, but if we're focusing on a high density low pin count option that doesn't seem unreasonable. But I definitely want to feel out the design space more before committing to anything.

    In particular, for another 3mm on a side, I can bump the FPGA up to the T120F324 with 112K LEs, 130 GPIOs (93 free after FMC) and get 5.4 Mbit of BRAM, 320 multipliers, and 7 PLLs plus even a hard DDR3/LPDDR3 controller assuming you can actually find said RAM in 2026. That seems like a much more capable pairing than the T20.
