It's worth mentioning that it's easy enough to find absurdly cheap (~$20) early-generation dev boards for Zynq FPGAs with embedded ARM cores on Aliexpress, shucked from obsolete Bitcoin miners [1]. Interfaces include SD, Ethernet, 3 banks of GPIO.

Zynq is deeply annoying to work with, though. Unfortunately the hard ARM core bootloads the FPGA fabric, rather than the other way around (or having the option to initialize both separately). This means you have to muck with software on the target to update FPGA bitstreams.

Isn't it mostly just boilerplate code that does the FPGA configuration, though?
