FalconOC

Falcon-On-Chip

The idea behind this is an Atari ST/STE/Falcon compatible computer utilising VHDL IP Cores. Don't expect anything done tomorrow :o) Design is based around:

• Mini ITX motherboard form facter 170mm by 170mm
• CPU and DSP Daughterboards
• Xilinx Spartan FPGA I/O
• VGA Standard 15pin port
• Flash based TOS
• MFP 68901 with ST compatable serial port
• PS2 mouse/keyboard
• ACIA 6850 Midi (using generic PC gameport <> midi cable)
• Yamaha YM2149
• Enhanced Sound Matrix
• DDR Main CPU memory
• SDRAM Sound/Video memory
• Shifter/VIDEL video chip
• IDE with possible SATA support

So far only ideas and small amounts of design have been done. Currently (16/12/2006) I have a Xilinx Spartan development board and desktop ITX case. A 68000 CPU will be used initially and a Video DAC from Falcon motherboard.

Ideas most welcome, this will be a full open project.
