A bit of a non-sequitor: I've found that soft-CPUs are on the other end of the scale. Here the hardware/FPGA engineer configure *everything* into the FPGA bit file and there are no registers to e.g. set up DRAM cycles, etc. The FPGA bit file basically encodes anything specific to the PCB schema. The *nice* thing about this approach is that it divides the work into hardware and software engineers in a very effective and clean fashion. Now if only hard CPUs could somehow pull of the same nice trick of clean division of work. :-) -- Øyvind Harboe Embedded software and hardware consulting services http://www.zylin.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
