I probably worded it incomplete.
I stated "I personally have little reservation in that
regard".
This naturally meant that I don't think this will become
another dead end, the product
is brand new and there are already 4 derivates out, and with 3
versions of RAM on-board.
That's more I think than we ever got since release of
XA.
I was keen in those days on the -to be-
version with CoolRunner + XA on one die, as
Philips was the only innovator to have MCU + very advanced
CPLD IP at that time.
;
I just hope we will get better documentation this time, and if
the instant birth and
subsequent frequenting of this forum was to be an indcation of
the future, it should be
an immense succes (which I personally think it will
be)
If I ever get to try out the Ashling board/tools, I'd voice my
opinion just as well.
Best regards,
Kris De Vos
