Information about eeColor Color3 HDMI FPGA board (by tomverbeure)
The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Reverse engineering unsocumented FPGA board?
I have reverse engineered many FPGA boards.

Recommended FPGA for HDMI 1080p -> 4K upscaling?
For a project like this, you should do as little as possible with FPGA and use ready-made components instead. There are dedicated HDMI decoding chips on the market. The obsolete eeColor3 uses both HDMI decoding and encoding chips. I have a GitHub repo about it here.

Getting into FPGA, needing advice for choosing right platform.
eeColor Color3 units go for around $20 on Amazon or eBay. Breaking it open is a pain (the plastic is very unhappy about getting torn apart.) But after that, it's a very good deal. I have a series of 6 blog posts about how to get to that demo. I also have a Github repo with all the information that I was able to gather, and the example design.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pin-uart and color3 you can also consider the following projects:
clash-spaceinvaders - Intel 8080-based Space Invaders arcade machine implemented on an FPGA, written in CLaSH
vivado-risc-v - Xilinx Vivado block designs for FPGA RISC-V SoC running Debian Linux distro
red-pitaya-notes - Notes on the Red Pitaya Open Source Instrument
panologic - PanoLogic Zero Client G1 reverse engineering info
make_for_vivado - experimentation with gnu make for Xilinx Vivado compilation. dependencies can be complicated.
panologic-g2 - Pano Logic G2 Reverse Engineering Project
