We have hardware, boards delivered to my sticky hands.We had a meeting to discuss the next larger run, all the setup work for volume manufacture is now in place.I'll will take these first 44 home and test next week. I'll start taking orders for these shortly when I know how many are working.Cheers,MikeJ
I can see the potential, but it doesn't look good. If they can't make it faster without forcing people to change their code then it's pointless. They might as well just sell a PC and an emulator.
Meanwhile, the x86 Core is working like a charm. The softcore Pentium 2 manages around 600MHz which allows the installing of WinXP if you put the ISO of the install DVD on the SD card and mount it. The emulated Radeon 7xxx series graphics card allocates 64MB of RAM which is enough to play lots of games. Just make sure you get a huge SD card as Windows needs a large hard file especially if you plan on installing lots of games.Here's a screen shot of the FPGA Aracde running World of Warcraft in a 1024x768 display on WindowsXP (it is rather large so I had to link to it):http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b134/darrin01311/FPGA1.jpg

There are nearly 200 boards manufactured now, which is somewhat more than Natami./MikeJ
