I must admit that my interest is in the LM32 core and not primary in
Milkymist. On most boards I develop, you find a AVR and an FPGA. The AVR is
not at it's limits, as it is doing the slow control, but the 5V/3.3V
interface is one aspect I look for a solution to get rid of the AVR.
As the board sometimes have long support time requirements, an open solution
with a strong community baking it would be fine. Joerg's soc-lm32 seemed
fine when I looked at it beginning at 2008, but now development seemes
stalled. Also the long times questions stay open in the lattice Mico32
forums at
http://www.latticesemi.com/forums/forum/index.cfm?forumid=101
didn't enhance the trust in the platform. As now Milkymist switched to
MICO32, things are getting more interesting again.
By the way, could MICO32 run ins some way without external RAM? I have a
ADSP starter board with the XC3SD1800 ( and DDR2 RAM) which has as least
enough slices.
