Excellent. I have experience with the eCos RTOS and am yearning to dive
into uCLinux as well so I'd like to be kept in the loop when addressing
the embedded space if possible.
We also would like to support the broadest possible set of platforms.
And in addition, we need well-documented development and lots of
MIT-licensed code that would allow any embedded system builder to make
our chip work with their system. (Not to mention community support on
the list.)
Will you clarify the licensing of OGD1 hardware prototype card hardware?
Will you allow GPL license style derivatives of the hardware?
The TT site says, "Free[*] Hardware Design (schematics)
Free[*] Design PCI core
* Released under GPL.
I thought there was some requirement that hardware design contributors
assigned ownership to Traversal Tech...? What is the OGP position on hardware
license now?
Will we be able to reuse verilog built into it?
and are the PCI card drivers GPL now?
I'm most interested in FPGA or ASIC based support for embedded linux chips for
machine vision. Thinking of Atmel's AVR32 or ARM9 chips that have a
linux-running processor
and camera interface on one chip. Adding OGP functions in FPGA or TT's planned
ASIC chip
would be a boon to that, or possibly even cheaper lower power processors -- for
machine vision
for little robots, (no PC motherboards, just 3 or 4 chips).
Thanks,
John Griessen
