It depends on whether you want to make a FPGA that can run any Pd DSP 
patch, or whether you want to turn Pd DSP patches into a different FPGA 
each.

In the latter case, the most similar projects that I heard about are #77 
and #78 in http://www.resmiq.org/projets.php , but the text is probably 
not online. But then I think that Pd DSP patches can be compiled to FPGA 
much more easily than Scheme can (which is what those guys attempted) in 
their case, even though they only attempted to port a purely-functional 
subset of it.
