    Build your hardware, easily!

  • If you just want to display some pixels on a screen, using a 'dumb framebuffer' (just an area of memory to store the frame to be displayed) is not very difficult and a FPGA likely doesn't even need an external device - it can output something 'close enough' to VGA. DVI(-in-HDMI) is also possible with minimal external support. Operating system like Linux or NetBSD have support for 'dumb framebuffer'. SoC generator Litex has built-in support as well to generate a framebuffer and the appropriate device tree to declare it to Linux.

  • NuBusFPGA

    Stuff to put a FPGA in a NuBus Macintosh

  • 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 ;-) ).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • SBusFPGA

    Stuff to put a FPGA in a SBus system (SPARCstation)

  • 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 ;-) ).
