Hi! Robert Michel: >Ahmm but doesn't a FPGA bare the risk that beside open source >important parts of the device stay close source?
Nope, how should? The FPGA is, normaly, programmed trough VHDL and VHDL is plain text. Besides that, a big enough FPGA could even implement the CPU, the display controler and possibly the radio unit *g* But if board one is in pre-production state, then leave that as a note for board two. BTW: I had the idea because i looked at my Commodore-One and though "Why isnt that technology more widely used?" Ok, the C-One uses a 'bit' dated FPGAs but thats not the problem as the C-One is made to simulate old computers.
