"Snickerdoodle" by krtkl.com looks interesting: https://www.crowdsupply.com/krtkl/snickerdoodle <https://www.crowdsupply.com/krtkl/snickerdoodle>

Zynq 7010 or 7020, .5/1GB, Wi-fi,  etc. Also has some related boards (PiSmasher...). RTOS or Linux.
For FPGA dev you have to use Xilinx "Vivado". This should allow simulation as well.

Tom Skibo has ported FreeBSD to varius Zynq based boards such as Zedboard, Zybo, Parallela and Snickerdoodle: http://www.skibo.net/zedbsd/ <http://www.skibo.net/zedbsd/> 

Also of interest may be SpinalHDL, a high level HDL (the compiler maps it to VHDL or Verilog, after which you can use the usual closed source tools from Xilinx etc.!). SpinalHDL is actually a Scala library. You can't translate arbitrary Scala code to VHD/Verilog but a constrained subset. Supposedly takes away some of the drudgery of VHDL/Verilog. SpinalHDL is similar to Chisel from UCB. http://spinalhdl.github.io/SpinalDoc/ <http://spinalhdl.github.io/SpinalDoc/> There is example 32 bit wide RISC-V soft core and Crypto at https://github.com/SpinalHDL <https://github.com/SpinalHDL>
