There's several RTOSes supported for OpenRISC, and a few SoC projects on OpenCores which have support for some commodity Spartan 3 boards that could get you up and running quite quickly.

Rick and all, Ran across this the other day and thought it might be useful. I haven't had a chance to go through much of the material (because there's a lot!), but it looks to be along the same lines as what you had pulled together.

These prices come up on Avnet Express. I searched via www.findchips.com. Low end: XC7V2000T-1FH1761C - $29897.06 High end: XC7V2000T-G2FLG1925E - $67150.00 Does that make the the XC7V2000 the most expensive "standard production" chip in the history of the galaxy? Of course, it's probably pretty cheap in terms of transistors per dollar. Heroic engineering, but I'm glad I am not a stockholder.Article: 153056

Heroic engineering, but I'm glad I am not a stockholder. I guess they are only getting one good chip per wafer... after you add in the cost of development the chips are a little on the expensive side. I worked for a test equipment maker once and they were using the largest chip Xilinx made at that time which was a bargain at $1000. But then the box it went in sold for $150,000 so the chip cost was lost in the noise. I think they only expected to sell ten or so which means they barely covered their development costs. The funny thing was they were only using 10% of the chip, the rest was for "future expansion". That's how little they cared about the cost. RickArticle: 153058

As you say, there doesn't seem to be any stand-alone device available. As our product is based on an embedded PC with a parallel port, we built a copy of the Altera ByteBlaster on our last board (basically a 74HC244 and a few other parts), and used the reference code from Altera to do the programming. Others have mentioned using a bootloader in the FPGA code, and using this to do the re-programming. I'm wary of doing this as there is no way AFAIK to separate the bootloader functionality from the rest of the code in the EEPROM bitstream and only erase / re-program the sectors needed, so if there is a power failure in the middle of the update the user has a bricked machine. We are currently moving to a platform which has no parallel port and trying to get the Altera JTAG JAM player working, using a PIC18F4550 (which was on the board anyway and has a few spare pins) as a bit-banged controller, with the JAM file downloaded from the PC via UART. I'll let you know if we ever get it working... In summary, if you want a standalone JTAG Flash programmer, you'll probably have to make your own. We may end up doing this ourselves, but it's not a high-priority project at the moment.Article: 153059

That is what I am thinking of, but for boards that don't have an embedded micro. Often the embedded micro is embedded into the FPGA rather than being a chip on the board. I was surprised to find that there are at least two main lines of standards for this. But they seem to be very similar, just more code to debug is all. Then they both have ASCII text versions as well as compressed binary versions. I haven't found a draft copy of the JAM spec. I could work from the code and reverse engineer that, but I'd prefer to have a peek at the spec. I guess I'll have to shell out the $100. RickArticle: 153061

That's how little they cared about the cost. That sounds like a good project for a MBA type case study. I could easily believe that $10K is cheap insurance. How much would it cost to figure out what size chip to use? Don't forget lost opportunity cost as well as the more obvious costs. Do you want your best guys spending time on figuring out what size chip to use or getting the project ready to ship? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.

The prices there are probably worthless. Make a serious approach to a Xilinx distributor, and you will get a completely different price. Still expensive, but a lot lower. That happens with both Altera and Xilinx, as they have full control of customers and prices. Each customer gets its own price, based on forecast, risk and a few other parameters.Article: 153066

Hi, I see on Ebay cheap USB Cables(40-60USD) that claims to be compatible with the Xilinx ones. I don't understand wich one, if any, they emulate (DLC9G). Do they work? Are they supported on latest webise under Win7 64bit? Wich cable they are compatible with? TIA, Giuseppe Marullo PS: Two examples: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xilinx-Platform-Cable-USB-CPLD-FPGA-USB-download-cable-/270627772572?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f02ac189c and PPS: Someone could please explain the 7 vs 6 pins thing?
