natami

[wrath of khan]

Im definately getting a natami.I hope it's finished by the end of 2013 or such.
I don't care what I have to pay really. I hope it can come all set up in a proper amiga case maybe the daddys case in another colour would work. I and I think others would have difficulty putting the board into a case properly.It would also sell better for sure if it comes fully ready to run out of the box.I think everyone should get one and make the natami a success thus perpetuating the likelihood of a natami 2.I hope the natami guys pull it off they have come too far now.

the thing is that it's all very vague over on the natami forums.Are the rest of the team still involved in the creation of the natami or is it just thomas the hardware guy working completely alone? can one man however skilled realistically develop such a system on his own?I ask cos I don't know.A little clarity would go a long way about such matters.Obviously the team don't have to divulge anything private just some clarification as to what is happening.

The bigger problem with porting the NatAmi code from the Altera Cyclone IV to the Xilinx Spartan 3 is that it can't mix with the MiniMig core at all.  MiniMig is GPL code while NatAmi is closed-source.  Also, MiniMig is programmed in VHDL I think, and the NatAmi chipset is coded as AHDL which only works on Altera FPGAs.  Porting from Altera to Xilinx is possible but requires conscious effort to fix the code conversion problems from the converter.

Hi samurai crow.Is it just thomas working on natami now.Are the rest of the team involved anymore?Will the natami forum be closed?

Whoever was working on the natami ever it was thomas all the time. The rest of the team was actually working on their own either related or accompanying projects as it looks like. I mean even i was invited but honestly have refused as i knew i couldnt seriously contribute.

I see so thomas was largely working alone all along in terms of hardware at least.Thomas might actually get the natami finished in private a bit quicker fingers crossed.
