The 210 Works On More FPGAs
The latest configuration has been tested on GateMate FPGAs and results in working builds (as determined by running a simple “flashing LEDs” program). This means that Gowin and GateMate are now supported targets, although it’ll take me a little while to clean up & extend the builds.
Higher-End Models Underway
I should have some faster base models uploaded soon based on third-party open source projects. So these initial models will represent much less engineering effort at my end but will hopefully form the basis of a stable processor lineup: hardened & supported versions of existing designs.
This currently involves experimenting with two different open-source designs, and provided that the basics eventually work I should be able to start uploading my changes soon.
Note that model numbers will not indicate newness but should roughly correspond to size of the design, and that the level of support I can offer won’t be exactly the same for each model (although at least some of my compilers will be portable to each).
Having To Think About Version Control…
I may just go back to using git as this seems easier for browsing projects & READMEs online, or I may release more over SVN as this is very convenient from my end.
