[Milkymist-devel] Slashdot submission

[Sébastien Bourdeauducq]

I just sent in:

"The System-on-Chip design of Milkymist [1], an open hardware platform for 
video performance artists, now has all the required features to implement many 
video effects. The next step for the project is to develop software that 
leverages the features of this architecture to render MilkDrop [2]-like visual 
effects on a stand-alone FPGA development board in order to make the first 
good-looking demos using the system. For the FPGA hackers out there, the 
hardware design is entirely written in open source synthesizable Verilog. It 
notoriously features the LatticeMico32 WISHBONE-enabled softcore processor 
capable of running uClinux, a high performance DDR SDRAM controller, and 
graphics accelerators for texture mapping and floating point computations. A 
good introductory paper about the SoC architecture can be found here [3]."

It's currently in the firehose, feel free to vote for it :)
