If you don't mind getting your hands dirty (i.e. compiling software and FPGA bitstreams), it's easy to find out by yourself! The core device is based on the resource-efficient MiSoC system-on-chip design, and you can use a limited version of ARTIQ with the small and low-cost Papilio Pro board. Feel free to send feedback to the mailing list!

+First you need to flash your Papilio Pro board with pre-compiled binaries
+$ wget http://m-labs.hk/artiq/binaries/binary_package.tar.gz
$ tar xzf binary_package.tar.gz
$ cd binary_package && ./flash -a
Installing host-side ARTIQ software on your Windows or Linux computer is quick and easy since it can be installed via Conda packages as part of the Anaconda scientific computing Python distribution:
+$ conda config --add channels fallen
$ conda install artiq
Then you can follow the manual to run basic ARTIQ examples:
+Note that ARTIQ is still in development and we expect to deploy a fully functional release (that will include a GUI) at NIST by June 2015. We are also working on making the installation procedure easier.
