GateMateA1 for TERES-I

[os3o3]

Hi,

I understand that Olimex wants that the TERES-I be able to run a full Linux distribution.

I have an other point of view. I want a fully Open Source computer running a fully custom CPU with a minimal OS.

I want to use an FPGA to make a prototype and proof of concept.

In a far distant future I would like to turn the FPGA design to an ASIC using low end silicon technology (~130nm).

So my goal is to have a "retro computer" like laptop with custom processing unit. Like the Neo6502pc, but in a real laptop format.

The GateMateA1-EVB is nice, I can use it. But I would like to integrate it into a portable computer. To do so I must design some add-on boards or make a new TERES main board.

Is there some potential customers for a GateMateA1-EVB merged into a TERES-PCB1-A64 form factor ?

And of course as always, I have a lot of idea and little money ;-)

What CPU architecture do you want to make?
At what speed it will run?
Are you capable to make proper Linux support too?
