I would love a port to Xilinx' ML401 (which I have), but with a new baby
even answer this mail takes precious time. I could use some help :-)
Porting to Xilinx shouldn't be much of a problem; we'd need a Xilinx
version of the memory module and I'd need support for the Sync SRAM on the
ML401. I'm actually trying to get the Sync SRAM on the DE2-70 going these
days so hopefully that will be similar.

Thanks Tommy. I have downloaded the paper and will have a read.
Cheers.
Robert.

Any chance for a xilinx port ?

Hi Folks.
I just back from holiday and picked up on this email trail. Tommy
what is YARI?
Cheers.
Robert.

I'm sure there are as many opinions as there are people, but let
me give you mine and the justification.
Of all the dev kits I've found, I have yet to find one better value
than the DE2-70 from Terasic:
The FPGA on that board is an Altera Cyclone 2 EP2C70 which at
68,416 LE (LUT + FF) is one of the largest FPGAs with free tool support (the
Cyclone 3 EP3C120 is the only larger one). Add to that all the features on the
board and you have a winner.
If you're a student or are affiliated with an academic institution, you
can get a significant discount over the $600 stock price.
I haven't ported fpgammix to this board yet, but it shouldn't take
very much effort at all.
There are definitely cheaper boards out there, but IMO none are this
good a value and most are simply too wimpy for MMIX.
Cheers
Tommy

Too cool!
I'm new to the FPGA game-- what board/kit would you recommend for this
project (preferably under, say, $1500)?
