You are right that no project can succeed without enough skilled people that invest their time. And from what I read on this list more skilled people would be a good thing. > I would like to ask you to stop pushing ideas around and start doing > something.

I don't know big Investors, so I have no one to write letters to and I have never ever coded verilog. So that leaves me with nothing to do to help. I would like to start programming FPGAs. But I don't know where to start. I do embedded C Programming and for those that want to start embedded C Programming it is now easy, because they can start with an Arduino. If there is an FPGA-Arduino the please give me an pointer. If there isn't, then creating one would probably be a big step towards your target of more skilled People. A small cheap PCB that I can connect to the USB Port of my Linux box, that comes with all the software needed and that after working trough a tutorial can then blink an LED would be a great thing to help people start playing with FPGAs. If the budget allows it then throw in some GPIO, buttons, Display, other Interfaces SD Card, I2C, Analog In/Out, SPDIF whatever. Should not be a big problem as the SD Card Interface is only the Socket and pins on the FPGA, the rest is software,... For those that want to make big money with this the Arduino is doing million dollars,... > If you cannot do any of these please be quiet and do not distract the > people who are actually doing the work. I will now be quiet and watch the skilled people do their thing. I wish the best and hope for new interesting things to come up.
