*sigh* Boy, you really missed the point. Did you do that on purpose? I was trying to show you the way I would think if I was doing a design.
The really really _really_ important bit was the bit you didn't reply to. You know, the part that showed that I had no compelling reason to use your chip? The bit about where I imagined an ideal world was written on the fly, and showed what would be closer to what would be useful to someone who really does embedded stuff. It was NOT a suggestion for what we could do. It was an indicator of just how far off the mark the current spec is for really embedded stuff. I am saying over and over again: I CANT SEE ANY REASON ANYONE WOULD BUY YOUR CHIP. I even explained how I would be thinking in that sort of situation. I showed a bunch of different cases and showed how little room there is out there for OGA for embedded designs. Why would I use it when I could just use a VIA processor and a CN700 chipset? I get: A) SHA, DES, AES at 20 Gbps. B) A nice CPU that may or may not require a fan. My choice. C) MPEG2, MPEG4, 2D and 3D acceleration. D) FULL SOURCE CODE for everything. X drivers and 2.6 kernel code. Never mind that most of the time (D) is irrelevant. Why are you making this thing? Who will buy it? You claim it is for embedded use, but I have been doing embedded design for a long time, and I don't see any real reason to use it. Desktop use? I have already explained that it will be more expensive and slower than other things I could buy that will have open source drivers, assuming you can find the money to actually get real silicon. Tell me why I should care this thing exists. :-( Tell me why enough people for it to be worth your while to do this will care?
