Dear Andrea, Thank you very much on your positive reply. I think that it may be very useful to send message with your comment on my project proposal to opencores list. I hope that this may potentially mobilize developers there since many of those cores may be put on our free board. eventually, this will speed development of the project. Since I am one of founders of Linux Centre here in Belgrade I would like to consult President of the Board of the Linux Centre here, Mr. Vedran Vucic who communicated with you already regarding translation of Agnula site. I am sure that he would like to take part in that project and that he may help us in looking for supporters. First, we need wide public support in suggestions for functionality for mafa-pc-board. Yes, this will be an planning phase... When this process be finished (couple of months), and when we have accurate target... we will decide what chips and what technology will use to build "mafa".... For all: I think that we need an free (as freedom), and processor independent board, then please, post suggestions and questions to cores mailing list http://www.opencores.org/forums.cgi/cores/post Term "processor independent" means that we will use some "soft" processor, as concerns VHDL/Verilog (Hardware Description Languages) software processor core in an large FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) mafa-pc-boardhttp://www.opencores.org.
