Looking for "alpha" testers

I'm currently looking for "alpha" testers for the upcoming 1.0 version, which uses the new Arduino IDE and a new, improved core.

In case you are interested in testing it, please drop me a note. !

The new Extreme core

I just uploaded a new extreme bitfile, one which does only implement one emulated instruction (loadb, using an extra cycle). Implementation of other instructions is coming next.

Again, a Papilio One, S3E250, at 96MHz, AES benchmark:
Press ENTER to start benchmark                                                   
Doing 10000 runs...
Time: 1536 milisseconds, 104166 bytes/s

Comparison with older core, with *many* more instructions implemented:
Press ENTER to start benchmark
Doing 10000 runs...
Time: 2101 milisseconds, 76154 bytes/s

Definitely, getting somewhere :)
