Truly sad. Open source project that is highly customizable, with users able to select the instruction set and data path that best suits their application, and the best part , developers can write programs for the ZPU using standard C (GNU Compiler Collection toolchain). Also wasn't the original purpose of the project to create CPU with low-power consumption? And yet it was capable of 200mhz on 32 bit instructions if I'm not mistaken. Packs a punch , especially if it was designed for battery powered devices. What led it to get abandoned?
