That's a tiny market (or maybe not if you could record DVI input)....

You should better define how the hardware of OGD1 could be reconfigurable
without hardware dommage or deadlock. (http://www.fpga4fun.com/ use usb
connection a card to reprogramme it)

Define the tools to programme the lattice chip : i did not find the free
tool for it.

And then define the generic hardware-software basic API to begin working
on userspace code (much easier than kernel space). You need register
setting and DMA transfert with some adresse verification to avoid trashing
the machine. That's quite easy for somebody who know well linux internal.

And then sell the OGD1 card... :)
