- pryelluw 10y agoI also mean the actual hardware. :)
- monocasa 10y agoThis is the only project I know of. http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/ http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/
- rvense 10y agoQuite sure the answer is no. There was a student project a while ago but it was more of a proof of concept. Open source chips of any kind are few and far between, and generally not at the cutting edge, technology-wise. Patents, as usual, will make this hard, before we even get to the economic aspects.
- analognoise 10y agoI'd be more than happy with 1997-era (20 year patent expiry) FPGAs if they were open. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone else would.
- rvense 10y agoMe too. For some things you need to be as fast or cheap or low-power or whatever as the competition to win, other times you just want to see how far you can go. At my hackerspace we've been mucking about with Clifford Wolf's PicoRV Risc-V implementation on Lattice Ice40 FPGAs lately. This'll give you something that's maybe on par with a lower-end ARM Cortex-M, plus the flexibility of the few thousand spare look-up tables. All open and hackable with open source tools (except for the actual FPGAs, mind). It's not much, but it's a start.
