Hello world & Ledblink

We have now managed to build ORPSoC from scratch and boot it on the ATLYS dev board.
We have also managed to write a helloworld application as well as built a small RTL module that blinks a LED. Next up is connection the LED to the rest of the system via a Wishbone bus  so we can blink it with with a Linux application.

We are also working on some documentation on how to build ORPSoC with Linux and run it on the ATLYS board.

Dev environment!

Our Development rig is ever growing. Soon we will run out of space!
But we know where we can get another desk :)
we have:
2 UL30VT laptops with external screens
1x Ubuntu Intel i3, dedicated to synthesis
1x WinXp doual core, dedicated for SPI FLASH (lol)
1x Digilent Atlys FPGA dev board

Thesis work!

I will dedicate this space for our ( Anton Fosselius & Per Lenanders) thesis work. We will in the coming 20 weeks build an open source graphics accelerator for the OpenRISC CPU.

Our current setup:

Two Asus UL30VT with external monitors, a ATLYS Spartan-6 design platform driving a HD-Ready 32" LCD TV.

I am currently building on some fotball robots, for more info, please visit Void

I am alive

I currently have alot to do in school, chinese lessons and robotics project.
i will post a status update on the vision system soon. I will spend this weekend with rewriting Kinglo with Orkaboy. I have bought a eee note, an epic device. I have already ported an old version of kinglo to it. The new version of kinglo will run on: linux, windows, eee note, n900(when i get the damed SDK to install,sloow download).

Robotics project

We have now started on our robotics project, today we made sure that we wont have to use Windows more then strictly necessary. We implemented a "server" application that are running on the windows driven robot, then we control it from a Linux client that will be running Visual SLAM with two ps3 eyes.

Progress updates

I have been writing and rewriting the network code for Chrex for a while now..
and it is starting to take form, when the network is finished, the "visual" improvements will be more rapid. not much to show now. I will write a little howto on how to make a good network interface for games later.

There have also been some progress with Kinglo, i have to update with a new download mirror some time soon.. I have also compiled it for Win32, but it requires 60Mb of dll:s, and that is something that takes too long for me to upload, so i wont host it if no one requests it. there have been some progress in recognition of written chinese characters, but its not good enough yet. we know how to make it better, we have just not had the time to improve it.

I have no updates for the STM32 platform, but i have bought a battery and a mic for it, will solder it together soon. will make a simple drawing program for it and then try to get pocketSphinx running on it.
