between existing SpaceWire equipment and a computer.

|
|
The project is currently very much in alpha phase. Most importantly,
|
Future plans:
|
there is no proper documentation. I WILL PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION SOON.
|
|
|
|
Short term plan:
|
|
* more testing
|
|
* documentation
|
|
|
|
Long term plan:
|
|
* add AMBA bus interface
|
* add AMBA bus interface
|
|
* try to run on Virtex
