Pretty much, it looks like. It covers any CPU+FPGA system where the
FPGA is used for any of signal I/O, co-processing, HID, graphics,
signal processing, communications and battery charging. :)

I'm sorry, but I find it too hilarious that "a system with an FPGA"
can be patented. It's a little bit like patenting the patent system..
