Here's an important update:
I just gave the new design one hour of debug time...
Nothing is fine yet, many features still untested (interrupt, mq, memory
expansion),
BUT: It currently runs Chekmo at 100 Mhz!!!
Very cool!
There are some severe synthesis warnings I simply
ignored. Will
investigate in the process of further debugging the stuff.
Heh, it seems impossible to deal with the hundreds of warnings to
figure out which, if any, are important.
A 100Mhz Chekmo is a big step forward. And all that on
a Spartan-3. On a
Virtex-2 or -4 FPGA this would become even faster.
Hmm...I don't share your need for speed :-). I am more worried about
being able to interface with new and old external gear.
