Absolutely, though as far as I know, programming FPGSs is relatively slow which limits the 'on-the-fly' programming that is practical. Something like the Intellasys SEAforth processor (http://www.intellasys.net/products/seaforth/index.php) might better support JIT hardware applications. # Steve _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
