The goal of this (inelegantly named) project is to create an
open, 2D/3D hardware
accelerated
PCI express video card. The slow pace of the OpenGraphics project inspired me to do a quick-n-dirty hack/framework that implements an external framebuffer on a FPGA development board. I first posted this to the opengraphics group ~6/15/06. I've since made further enhancements. I started this design effort in the hope that it would accelerate the OpenGraphics project. I have no connection to that project beyond following the mailing list. The related design files were created by me and may be freely used by any individual or company for any reason. Except where noted, all files linked for download (i.e. not the html) are placed in the public domain. The overall design approach taken is to design the graphics
core in a generic FPGA development kit, and then later move the design
into either a commercially available PCI-express development kit, or to
a custom designed card. I am not an EE, but do know just enough electronics to get by. I would welcome feedback and/or comments on the TVC's design and implementation. As of now, this project has about four man-weeks of time
invested in it.
