The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Sparcstation 20 NetBSD 9.3 playing some Amiga mod music
Also a VSIMM, guessing you're using the internal SX / cg14 for display ? 4 or 8 MiB ? 8 are near impossible to come by, and 4 are not much better... But they're the best way to get a truecolor display in a vintage Sun - the only one that can do some level of XRender acceleration (unless you roll your own, that is ;-) ).

Desktop GPU + PCIe + MPsoc
In the middle you can try and design your own device and add support to whichever piece of software you need. It's an interesting exercise... (am here, doing that ;-) ).

I want to get a computer I can understand, but I'm a millennial, what do I really want?
I might be biased though :-)

Ethernet PC-FPGA interface
This is exactly what I created https://github.com/alexforencich/xfcp for - Ethernet and serial to multiple internal components, with the ability to enumerate said components.

FPGA development live stream: FPGA board bring-up and testing of high-speed serializers
I'll use my XFCP project to interface with the FPGA from Python via a USB serial chip. This provides access to the I2C bus on the board, for configuring the PLL chips and interfacing with the QSFP28 optical transceivers. Additionally, it connects to the dynamic reconfiguration ports (DRP) on the GTY transceivers, and I'll use that for performing BER measurements at 25 Gbps through a handful of QSFP28 cables and optical modules. It looks like I might also have to do some fine-tuning of some of the analog parameters on the transceivers (namely pre-emphasis).

FPGA development live stream: FPGA board bring-up and testing
I recently acquired a pair of rather large FPGA boards that have a bunch of high-speed IO. I figure it might be interesting to show the process for bringing them up in terms of the reference clock generation and distribution components on the board for the high-speed serializers, as well as performing some simple sanity checks (BER testing) on all of the interfaces to make sure everything is operational. I'll use my XFCP project to interface with the FPGA from Python for configuring the clocking components over I2C and for performing the BER measurements on the GTY transceivers via DRP.
