Re: Well Nobody Saw This Coming! Nintendo 64 Core Announced

Damn this man is a wizard. Got into MISTer to learn how to implement an N64 eventually and this dude just cranks one out! Truly some great work.

Re: Discussion and Development of a 'MiSTer 2.0' Modular Hardware Platform

Well sipeed is apparently targeting a mister replacement with the gowin arora v 138k + Andes risc v cores Their dev tooling is kind of meh, and Altera LEs aren't directly comparable to gowin LES, but it does look quite interesting for half the price and 138k le. Would need a carrier with HDMI TX (12.5gbps serdes so 4k120 works lol) and low latency ...

DE-10 is very likely the cheapest logic for $ out there since it's subsidized.

I'd be interested in repurposing a Kria K26 or Ultra96 w/ some kind of low-latency RAM expansion as those are low-ish cost and have 2x the logic resources of the DE-10.

Re: Xilinx Zynq port? Kria K26

Depends. The $199 kit's carrier board is a little lacking though it has PMODs that break out some GPIO. Someone could make a better carrier board tuned to MISTer specifically: display, networking, usb and enough low latency ram to implement all cores that can't handle ddr4 latency. Ultra96 is more comparable to Kria, being a xilinx product too. It'...

Xilinx Zynq port? Kria K26

Given the recent pricing increases on de10-nano, and the fact its fpga is nearly at capacity with larger cores, has anyone looked at porting the mister cores to something like an Ultra96 or even better the $200 kria k26 kit? The kria has pretty much everything you could want. 4GB (!) of ddr4, hdmi and dp 1.2, 4 usb A and some bits of gpio. It also ...
