we should be able to get alot of cores running on it [minimig] before switching to a new mobo probably. If the Replay and the MiniMig users keep fairly good sharing between the mobos and if cores can be shared for these two boards without too much hazzle
How about developing a HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) in the cores?
That way it would be very easy to identify what parts need converting and what parts are generic in the cores.
The generic part would then be fully interchangeable regardless if it was running on Replay, C-One or the Minimig.
Updates of the generic part of the core would then also be fully interchangable between different revisions?
Would a HAL take to much time to implement or would it make the life of the VHDL-coders better?
A HAL could mean some restrictions so all developers would have to come to terms what it should contain and work.
