At the outset, it's probably not so important. On the other hand, having something about as capable for graphics as OGD1 would be convenient. There are a couple of other boards available, possibly of interest to others: http://www.xilinx.com/products/devkits/HW-V5-ML501-UNI-G.htm http://www.xilinx.com/products/devkits/EK-V6-ML605-G.htm OGD1 is a bit cheaper. The primary advantage of the above seems to be in standalone operation. The primary advantage of the OGD1 seems to be having a test platform for designs shared with others with OGD1 boards, as well as evaluating designs for whatever OGCx it can model. Is there recent news on when OGD1 will be available? (I see the pre-order page.) Also, how straightforward would it be to attach things like Ethernet and storage to the 100-pin connector? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
