Efika 5200B Project
Wishbone bus frameworkin category Hardware
proposed by kingtaco on 8th March 2006 (accepted on 20th March 2006)
Project Summary
Reasoning:The wishbone[1] bus protocol is one of many SoC/embedded bus protocols available. It differs from others in that it\'s doesn\'t have any copywrite to impeed the effors of open developers. This allows hardware developers to focus on their project, and not how to connect it to other devices. My goal is to develop both a hardware and a software framework for intigrating wishbone compliant devices to a traditional PC architecture. This will allow hardware developers to test their designs quickly, instead of having to build their own interface, which can be both time consuming and expensive.
Equipment needed:
1 EFIKA with a fpga integrated to the system bus. Please contact me directly to discuss fpga sizes and models. The 3 most important factors are (listed in order): availability of free software, pin count, and logic densitity.
