The problem is the price. :-O $106.95 @ 1K
However the price will probably fall with time.
If it wasn't for the high price, this could be used to make a video card
-- and one that had HDMI output and did HDTV. All that is needed
besides the chip is a PCI-PCIe X4 bridge, memory (DDR2 RAM and Flash for
the software) and whatever is needed for the digital or analog monitor
output. The "video chip" would be in software. Perhaps adding a CPLD
and a RAM chip (for the registers) would improve VGA emulation but this
seems foolish as VGA is obsolete. As long as all of the video BIOS
interrupts are handled, I don't see the need for hardware VGA.
The PCI interface means that additional stuff could be added to the
board. E.G to run OpenGL (DiVinci chips DSP is fixed point) and/or X on
the board.
This has a NIC on chip as well so the same circuit could be accessed
with Ethernet.
Only question is how fast this would be with only the DiVinci chip.
