OpenSPARC Xilinx FPGA board
It has been a very busy and yet exciting summer. We finally were able to deliver on a real FPGA development board for the OpenSPARC T1 design - something we have been collaborating on with our partner Xilinx Inc. for over two years. Check out the joint press release from Sun and Xilinx of the announcement of this platform Evaluation Platform here.
We also simultaneously announced the university donation program for the OpenSPARC Evaluation kit . Through this program, qualified universities throughout the world can apply for the donation of this board by submitting their academic and/or research proposal to Sun. We believe this seeding will result in significant new activity in the academic world around the state-of-the art Chip Multi-threading (CMT) technology embedded in the OpenSPARC architecture and design.
Here are some of the pointers to get started:
OpenSPARC University Program
Xilinx University Program
Digilent Inc.for directly ordering the board
