Well, if Adapteva releases the VHDL/Verilog & chip masks, then it's actually open. If not, maybe we can use the the stone soup labs platform and make an ASIC of the open-graphics platform along with an OpenRISC cpu core, and grab a nice chuck of Parallella's market share. BTW, the last announcement I see on the opengraphics.org web page is 2010.. Has anything new come out recently? http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php#Announcements_and_News_br_ > _______________________________________________ > Open-graphics mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics > List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com) _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
