OGD1, Revision B (OGD1P-256DDAV; AS-000-0002)
OGD1 is an FPGA prototyping kit. With FPGAs, user I/O, and video
output hardware, OGD1 is ideal as a basis for the development of
computer hardware, particularly graphics.
OGD1 is production-ready and is currently being offered for PREORDER
at this time. Once the first 100 units have been ordered, production
will begin with a lead-time of 8 weeks. The first 100 preorders are
eligible for a $100 discount, a free Lattice programming cable, and a free
VGA adaptor.
Major features of OGD1:
Xilinx(R) Spartian™-3 XC3S4000 FPGA
Lattice™ XP10 FPGA
64-bit PCI-X (133MHz) card edge (compatible with 32-bit 33Mhz PCI)
256 MiB of DDR400 memory
66 user I/O signals on a 92-pin Hirose connector
68 user I/O signals for a 100-pin ICD connector
Video head 0: Dual-link DVI-D port (digital only, up to 2560x1600)
Video head 1: Dual-link DVI-I port (digital and analog)
Digital up to 2560x1600
330MHz RGB/VGA triple DAC (analog at least [EMAIL PROTECTED])
S-video port (analog TV-out)
Revision B of OGD1 is sold as a "blank," preprogrammed only with basic
diagnostic logic. Some users of OGD1 are already familiar with HDL
programming and FPGA logic design and have access to their own FPGA
programming tools. Other users may be interested in learning FPGA
logic design or would like to contribute to the growth of the Open
Graphics Project and other Open/Free-design Hardware projects. Basic
functional logic OGD1, Verilog module skeletons, examples, and
extended documentation are currently under development and can be
downloaded for free via the Open Graphics Project. Still other users
are interested in using OGD1 as an end product to run "pre-compiled"
logic developed by other users of OGD1. OGD1 can also be repackaged
and resold as an end product with custom logic for developers who need
OGD1's features or do not have the sales volumes to justify a custom
chip.
[Link to FAQ]
OGD1 was produced in collaboration with the Open Graphics Project
(OGP) (http://www.opengraphics.org).
Detailed information about OGD1 can be found on the OGP wiki
(http://wiki.opengraphics.org)
(particularly

There is also a Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_graphics).
If you are a contributor to the OGP or would like to contribute,
please contact the Open Hardware Foundation
