ZPUino 1st BETA will be release hopefully during this weekend. I won't disclose all details until then, but here's a quick overview:
- Wishbone compatible. You can connect any wishbone-compliant core to the IO module
- Improved bootloader and programmer, with a lot of sanity checks.
- A new Papilio One core for S3E500, with HQVGA(160x120, 8-bit color) support
- A new S3ESK core, with a HQVGA 8-bit color (but reduced to 3-bit due to no board support)
- SmallFS - a simple-to-use, small filesystem on flash
- A new library: VGA, to work with the new cores
- Full (yes, full) Microsoft Windows Support (subject to testing, of course!)
- An optional preliminary IDE based on upcoming Arduino 1.0 release
- Lots of bugfixes all around
Stay tuned!.

Wow, we are really looking forward to this release!
ReplyDeleteShould I break my hands clapping? Really superb work...
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Looking forward to seeing some software ported to this lil beast. Being a stack-based architecture, the ZPU/ZPUino should be a nice target for a Forth implementation for exampl.
ReplyDeleteJust polishing a few bits, planning to do the release today.
