Re: Release of fpga.resource AmigaOS 4.1 component for Sa... This looks pretty cool, and very easy to use! You'd only need to get a suitable connector to plug into the Sam460, and then you could do raw I/O. I'm sure with a little thought there could be some useful applications...
I was also surprised to see that the I2C resource works on my Sam440 too. I think I2C is potentially more interesting than raw I/O, since it's an actual networked data protocol (which is both easy to set-up & easy to use, albiet a little slow by modern standards). Perhaps I should investigate what cheap I2C devices are available to buy... |

Re: Release of fpga.resource AmigaOS 4.1 component for Sa... I can already see one definite use for this as a reprap printer controller...
literally create a 3D object on the Amiga and use a "RepRap" plugin for any 3D software to directly print it out... I would definitely like to try and use the FPGA on a sam440ep or sam460ex to run a reprap myself as it needs 4 I2C ports and that header has more than enough pins for that and more... Maybe even do a full "Battlebots" armature around a sam440ep as system master? :) Definitely interesting and lots of possibilities! |

Re: Release of fpga.resource AmigaOS 4.1 component for Sa... Very good ! Nice to see that the hardware is becoming more and more supported. I wait for stuff that will use that now.
