What a lie. This is not open. I have to register.
I plan to use AHDL for my logic designs, once I figure out
the text format, so I can use my favorite text editor.
Oh good lord, yes you have to register, get over it. It is VERY
open. Opencores is a very well-respected organization. You type your
name in order to gain access to gazillions of dollars' worth of IP.
What the hell are people thinking these days?!
And you don't have to actually register - by selecting the "browse svn"
link and navigating to the "web_uploads" folder you can download the
files ("mcpu-doc.pdf" and "mcpu.pdf" seem to be exactly the same)
just
fine. Of course, if someone responsible for the site reads this they
might change this.
Though I have been part of the opencores community since the begining, I
do find it a bother to have to log in when I just want to take a quick
look at some project's file.
