OpenCores.org ARM Clone Removed From Web

Posted by timothy on from the mirror-mirror-on-the-net dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: ""A clone of the ARM7 32-bit RISC processor core, previously available free for download from the Internet, has been taken down or hidden" pending discussions between the core's designer and a Chinese representative of ARM Holdings plc (Cambridge, England)." Remember, this is a reverse-engineered "clone in the form of a synthesizable Verilog language description."

    This is a strange coincidence because I just found an emulator for the Gameboy Advance that runs in a few different operating systems. It's still available and the folks have yet to be sued (at least that's what I ascertain from their website). The URL is http://boycottadvance.emuunlim.com

    From their site -- BoycottAdvance is a free/legal/portable emulator for the Gameboy Advance handheld by Nintendo.
    This emulator does not contain any copyrighted materials (BIOS or ROMs).
    It features an ARM debugger/emulator with graphic features trying to reproduce the innerworkings of the videogame console.
    As for now, the emulator run some demos or commercial games with a few glitches.
    It is a free tool for people who want to develop some nice demos.
    Please buy the official Development Kit from Nintendo if you want to write more complete games.
    If you use the emulator to play a game on your computer, be sure to own the original cartridge.

  7. A way to fix it! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There are jumpers you can short to fix this issue.

    J11 and J15 I believe, they will short the power on password which is giving you problems..short those, then restart your machine from cold boot, then fdisk and format the drive.

    Have fun!
