Agreed, open hardware design seems to be stuck at the point that good solutions exist, that are not made accessible like it's done by Linux distributors in the software world. For Techsource it might be more worthwhile to play that role than developing a design from scratch. There's even a project for an open 3D GPU in VHDL: http://icculus.org/manticore Cheers, Moritz - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
