hmm, LED-blinky and slower-than-slowtan6 Actel FPGA?
<
mumptai>
sb0_, hey they want to do arduino for
<
sb0_>
and java. urgh.
<
wpwrak_>
on the first day, god created the blinking LED ... :)
<
sb0_>
I wonder if Actel will still survive long. seriously, their FPGAs are so slow you can often replace them with a fast ARM MCU
<
sb0_>
and benefit from incomparably better software tools. Actel didn't just fuck up their silicon, their software is also much worse than ISE.
<
wpwrak_>
ah, he has made a PSHDL -> VHDL translator. no synthesis then.
<
wpwrak_>
i like the way germans often use english swear words excessively :)
<
mumptai>
actel is more or less a niche market provider, imho
<
mumptai>
mhmm, a browser-based IDE?
<
mumptai>
why do they all go crazy on their
<
mumptai>
pcb shapes?
<
larsc>
somehow you have to differentiate yourself from the competetion
<
mumptai>
like placing 100mil headers in a non-100-mil grid?
<
wpwrak_>
like, rounded down to 0.08 attoparsec ?
<
mumptai>
more like: nooobody will use a perfboard, or a solderless breadboard, EVER ..
<
wpwrak_>
well, it's been many many years that i touched one of these ...
<
mumptai>
sorry, i was stretching the arduino analogy, the arduino people seem to be using them all the time
<
larsc>
it's getting less and less useful with less and less dip chips
<
larsc>
but for blinking a LED it should be enough
<
mumptai>
dip parts are more or less replaced with small carrier pcbs, but its kinda limited to certain applications ..
