in case you are interested to test new fpga accelerators for a600/a500

To Thomas,

Thomas I understand your point that new instructions can have
the side effect that new compiles will  not run on old CPUs.
This is clear and this is understood.

What I am not understand is how relevant this is in our case.

Lets look at some numbers
Phoenix today can reach over 300 Mips - this means Phoenix is like 20-30 times faster than todays ACA cards.
We see on the horizon the next gen FPGAs.
This means we can have a future roadmap where we know we can create cards with over 1000 Mips.

The performance difference between Phoenix and old 68030 cards is so ridicolous
that I think the wish to run future killer applications on both platforms is pointless.

Last post from my side here.


I appreciate technical discussion.
I appreciate any discussion about which enhancements make most sense, about what benefit 100% Coldfire compatibilty can give us.

What I can not stand is that when people try to strengthen their points by posting manipulative lies.

I have a real problem here with how Matt behaves.

Matt posted on some forum that the way we design the CPU/FPU internally would hindern us going for ASIC.
This is pure bull%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!.
The fact is that Phoenix design proposal here matches 100% what INTEL, AMD and IBM are planning to do for their next CPU generation coming to market in 2 years.
This means our design is state of the art, absolutely modern.
And what we plan to do is perfect for going for ASIC.

Matt posted here 2 times that Phoenix would have problem running MAC-OS.
This is bull%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!.
I do not understand why Matt on purpose post lies.


This thread started as very valueable post by somoen pointing out the option to get early Developer cards.
Unfortunately this threads quality got quickly worth by off topic post.
And some of these posts are pure lies.

I see no reason for us to continue to talk on this level.
I will not post here anymore.


If people think it makes sense to spread lies then continue without me.

I wish the team well, even though Gunnar has for some unknown reason got irritated with the Fpgaarcade team.
...

Anyhow its a small community, lets all work and play together peacefully.
Cheers,

Hi Mike,

The issue is very easy to explain.
People told us that you "warned/informed" them that  my SAGA chipset
would be based on a copy of a patched Minimig chipset.

My problem is obviously getting simple answers to simple questions
.

-

Can you read?
This thread is about new developer board to come so that people WILL be able to test the new core.
Is you read this thread then you know the people do NOT have the board yet.
So why do you ask them for testing AROS or MACOS if its clear to the educated reader that without a board they could not have tested it?

Thanks for the response. News to me, I have no idea what you are up to (it being closed source) and hence how could I comment? I think there is some miss-communication here with a 3rd party perhaps.

The owner of  the MIST project spoke withus about using SAGA in his board.
He got irritated after you seem to have told him that our code would be an illegal copy of your code.


It was surprising me how room this small scene semm to have for politics.

Wow, so I'm supposed to magically know that?  I really don't care if I scare Thomas or Thor or whatever he calls himself, away from this project.  With help like his, Gunnar and his project don't need any enemies!  Thomas/Thor has been the most vocal detractor of this project via this thread.  Scaring him away might be doing everyone a favor!

Yes Thomas has been helpful is the past.

But I have to admit that I find this open ranting quite surprising.
If a friend is concerned about some details
 then I would have expected some email or phone call to talk about it
 not getting such a call but getting started the discussion with public critised is a bit funny.

A lot of misunformation was posted here.
People like Kolla seem totally confused now.

Frankly I can absolutely not follow Thomas logic.
On the one hand side he is afraid that new instructions would kill split the community
and that this would kill AMIGA - on the other hand Thomas did ask for special instruciton to decode JPEG faster.
I really do not get why the one is *evil* but the other one would be a god sent.
