... already received a couple emails about that arrow/altera combo ARM/FPGA board so here's the details on it. disclaimer: i have no financial interest in whether you get one or not, i just think it's cool. here's the relevant pages: http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/ArrowSoCKitEvaluationBoard http://www.arrownac.com/solutions/sockit/ for now (AFAIK), you can get one only if you attend that day-long arrow seminar and, at $99 for the day, you'd have to be deranged to get the chance and not take it since you get a free board with it. i tried to get into the one in kanata and it was already full but i know someone who went so i'm using his board for now. it appears that the board will be available for purchase this summer. it boots off of uSD card, with linux already bootable, and i've verified that there is an openembedded build for it, whoo hoo! so in terms of being able to play with an ARM processor and also do FPGA programming, that's a pretty good deal. i'll bring the board tomorrow to OCLUG if anyone wants to check it out. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
