It's a personal project, but an expensive one (with very large AWS bills some months), needs a commercial sponsor to end up as a real chip you could put in real platforms and a real chip design team to build it
- throwaway81523 5y agoMaybe there's a way to hit up AMD/Xilinx for an donated or loaned FPGA box so you don't have to use AWS?
- tux3 5y agoYou could probably find a riscv intl member company willing to donate small fpga boards, but if this design barely fits on an AWS f1 instance, I think realistically that'd have to be a 5 digit price board For reference, Digikey unit price for a VU440 floats around the $40-60k range
- Taniwha 5y agoNext step up is probably a VU13P based board, there were a few on EBay a year ago ~$5k, almost bought one, but then bitcoin went up again ..... I'm hoping for a crypto crash ....
