> I wonder how long it has been being developed though so far. :) dunno. they're using something similar to Chisel except where chisel is written in java, bluespec (or whatever) is written in Haskell. apparently it's possible to write a processor core in about 6 weeks flat with it... and the advantages are, you can do formal mathematical proofs on it.... *because it's Haskell*. outputs Verilog or VHDL i forget which. anyway, the integration is where it's going to get complicated. making sure the interfaces work, and pre-writing linux kernel drivers to run on FPGAs *before* committing to silicon and so on. we _will_ have access - free - to the university's 180nm fab, which is a bit... high power and very slow these days but at least it *might* be useful to at least prove things like e.g. sd/mmc work and so on. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
