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... :) Nicolas Boulay _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
