But backing up a bit, why do we want this in the first place? How many "standard" designs for OGD1 would we really have? Actually, it would be great for business if there were lots of them. Sometimes, it would make sense to combine designs. I just don't see it getting so complex that even a simple list of features wouldn't be overkill. How about we use the wiki to define 32-bit identifiers that we put in a zero-terminated list somewhere in the PROM. If you don't know what an identifier is, you can look it up on the wiki. Moreover, most codes would be allocated as 4-letter names that, when viewed as ASCII, may make some kind of sense. Things like: NICx, OGA1, VDIN, ADIO, etc.
If the basic design is based on a webpack capable fpga, there will be as many variants as users. Folks can pick and choose their own configurations, be they purely video functional units or a mix of video and other. Until there exists an ASIC, there will 'only' be a FPGA to play with.
