Open Source Finally Hits Real Silicon

Posted by timothy on from the mask-of-progress dept.

pagercam2 writes "While Open Source software has many success stories, hardware and particularly chips haven't had as much. While there have been multiple Open Source projects, none have come to a final product until now. The OpenRISC 1000 has been implemented by Flextronics Semiconductor(a division of Flextronics, the contract manufacturer possibly best known for its production of many Cisco products) along with PCI, 10/100 Ethernet, serial, GPIO etc. ... Details and pretty pictures available at OpenCores.org, and it even runs uClinux. Good Job!"

    That's what I thought it said at first and I figured this was gonna be a story about how some guy who has wacked off to Jenna Jameson porn so much that he's got cuts on his cock and now he finally got a chance to meet his idol.

    I'm a systems designer on the iPod team, and we actually considered OpenRISC as the CPU on future iPod versions. Its appeal to open-source lovers made it a serious contender.
