Cornell University FPGA Class Projects for 2008
Matt writes "The new crop of Cornell University ECE 5760 projects are now online. Some really cool projects, as well as the previous two years' worth of projects." Since it's mid-December, many other schools, too, have either just let out or are about to; can you point to any other online collections of cool technical projects?
Not all of them are trivial Tristan Rocheleau's lock-in amplifier project is not something I'd expect to see from an undergrad.
To answer the poster's question, the opencores.org site provides a wealth of free FPGA hardware designs.
You can find a full list of their projects here.
