Our parts supplier assured us that this part is supported by the FREE tools. > > I'm not sure if it's against the license, but it would be sort of cool > if someone set up a page where you could submit verilog and get back > the binary data that you could give to the (free) ispVM tool that > uploads data to the FPGA.

Chip synthesis, is, of course, an NP-complete (or worse) problem, so I don't see OSS synthesis tools being right on the horizon. But perhaps this project will encourage some development in that eventually. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
