He uses icarus, then some code of his to do finer than possible with Atmel tools FPGA P&R. Could be a starting point for open tools...but uses odd devel tools, (darcs Haskell). He claims to have a project in the works for a more mainstream FPGA, but won't say yet. John Griessen Attila Kinali wrote: i was astonished that people accept
that level of quality of software and support. It is really time that we replace those comercial packages with something OSS... then we can at least fix the bugs ourselves.

We just need to get people involved. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
