Open Source 3D Hardware

Posted by michael on from the red-and-blue-glasses-not-included dept.

An anonymous submitter writes: "Open Source haven icculus.org has updated with a new project: Manticore. Different from most Open Source projects however, Manticore is hardware. It is a 3D graphics acceleration design, coded in VHDL. Although still fairly early in development, its goals are similar to those of other 3D cores, from companies like NVIDIA and ATI. The project includes an SDRAM controller for storage, and a VGA unit for display, in addition to the 3D rendering core. It is available under the Design Science License. Source, Documentation and other information available at the Manticore Homepage."

    RMS seems happy running his GNU/Linux system on proprietary hardware with no access to the blueprints. Designs don't have to be open or free.
