Student from the lab that originally developed Nengo here.
Yes! As far as I know, the company that develops Nengo (ABR) [1] is working on this with Intel [2]. Also see the presentation "Building applications with next generation neuromorphic hardware" from the NICE 2018 workshop [2] (video is available, password is on the top of the page).
I'm currently working on something I can't speak much about, but it involves heterogeneous NN, different ICs for training and for operation. Operation is that way simpler, and hence significantly faster and more paralleliable, as removes useless logic and the complexity of the "too many clock domains" hell on backpropagation networks.
