So let's suppose we target tapeout of the chip by July, 2013. What would it cost (in USD) to contract someone to get the OpenShader GPU in verilog fully validated by then?
I'm also very interested in what it will cost to get all the pieces in place to have HDMI and a full gigabit PHY (with open-source of whatever magic needs to happen to make that work) for the rest of the SOC design. If we are talking about SoC's, are we including power sequencing, or would be be better to us something like: http://www.ti.com/product/twl6032 and then work on an open-source power controller chip as a separate project? If we have some (strawman) cost numbers, and a timeframe, this gets to be a lot better plan for a kickstarter project that I think could deliver real working hardware AND get lots of people really excited.
