Adam, Sebastien and all, fantastic news, congratulations! Milkymist is hands down the #1 most important free software project in the world right now, and it's great to see it moving forward. Hopefully this will become a great board, fully copylefted and all... It's amazing to see the hundreds (!) of pins under the FPGA :-)
Also - Adam - very very good work on opening and documenting everything, it's a huge opportunity for all of us to learn as well. Way to go, congrats again, Wolfgang On Tue, Jun 01, 2010 at 05:10:15PM +0800, Adam Wang wrote: > Hi, > > The Milkymist One PCB[1][2] is back, this is based on our pcb > engineering checklist form[3].
