The Plasma CPU project at opencores has been enhanced. I added a real-time OS and a TCP/IP protocol stack to the project in order to better demonstrate the CPU's capabilities. The Web Server running the Plasma CPU on a Xilinx FPGA can be reached at: http://plasmacpu.no-ip.org:8080/. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Steve Rhoads

Hi Steve, that's good news! As you know I've been working a lot on the Plasma Core last year for a project at University and I like your code very much since it's very clear. I've visited the website being processed by your CPU and it works GREAT! BTW at the second try I was able to win against the server playing at tic-tac-toe... :) Just to let you know, I've read a lot about the company called Lexra which was sued by MIPS Tech. Inc. for the patented instructions (unaligned loads and stores), they did not implemented them and you did not as well; well, the patents on such these instructions will expire in December this year, so you could think about a Plasma implementation of the entire MIPS32 instruction set: http://jonahprobell.com/lexra.html I've also seen that you're building an entire hw/sw world around the Plasma... CONGRATULATIONS for all the stuff!!!
