Title: Could this be used for Minimig?
Post by: ciVic on October 16, 2013, 09:52:30 AM

Hi all,

I've found this, a FPGA extension for Raspberry PI:

I'm not a FPGA expert, so maybe an experienced person could say if it would be possible to use it for the minimig core?

Depends on this:
"plenty of on-chip 4-input LUTs - the pif-1200 has 1280, the pif-7000 has 6864"

ciVic if you mean when used with the raspberry pi then why bother? I'm sure emulation on the Pi would be a better solution.

As a starting point for a new minimig board it looks rather limited in the IO department and by the time you add all the components you need to a daughter board it's not any cheaper.

It doesn't have any RAM either.
