We could go with simply "HDL core". In the industry it's possible to buy core in different form factor: HDL, netlist and mask. Describing it as HDL mean that people are already used to the name and know in what format to expect it. Or we could go with "open core" in opposition with "ip core" and also support the name already used by the opencores project. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
