What do you think about giving the Neo1973 a FPGA?
It is surreal: I had the same idea last night.
Someone else wants to have SID music as a ringtone, not converted to mp3 or ogg but real sid files. He could upload a hardware sid to the FPGA and get his SID ringtones.
However, my application is quite different. I am thinking of a universal software radio. http://www.comsec.com/wiki?UniversalSoftwareRadioPeripheral I would assume that with this it should be possible to emulate: * RFID (sender and receiver) * GPS (receiver) * Bluetooth (sender and receiver) * GSM (sender and receiver) * WiFi (sender and receiver) * DECT (sender and receiver) * FM radio (sender and receiver) But even if this is not possible getting a FPGA out to the masses, I would think would make a lot of difference. Especially after seeing: General Purpose, Low Power Supercomputing Using Reconfiguration http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4969729965240981475 I have no idea if the power consumption is prohibitive - I will expect others on the list can enlighten us on that. /Ole _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
