News from elwood via amigaworld.net
ACube Systems announces the immediate release of the fpga.resource. This is an OS4 component that provides access to the I/O expansion bus found on the Sam460ex boards.
There are 80 I/O pins on the J22 connector, organized as 5 banks (each bank with 16 I/O pins) or as 80 single pins.
The archive contains both documentation and example source codes.
Check the documentation which comes with this executable for the pin-out layout.
Get the archive (soon on OS4depot): fpga_res-53.1.lha
For technical guys we would like to remember there is also an I2C resource on OS4depot. Check i2c.resource.lha
I take it the SAM's FPGA isn't like the FPGA on the Minimig and is more along the lines of allowing expansion boards to be built and added to the I/O pins for things like digital joystick ports, etc? Or can it support a whole computer on the FPGA like the Minimig and give it access to all of the ports on the SAM board, allowing something like Minimig core to boot on startup and take over the whole machine?
