I know two of such open source software: -flexloader -openwince-jtag But they can't programming all Altera device, only a little set of FPGA(a subset of Flex serie). I never heard about nothing of such things pertaining Cyclone family Hello fellow Open Source Hardware lovers, I wonder, hav

2005-10-22 Thread Michael Sokolov
Hello fellow Open Source Hardware lovers, I wonder, have any of you heard of an open source project that has reverse- engineered the Altera SOF format and can generate an SOF from scratch without using any proprietary software, i.e., without Quartus? Knowing how much grief open source hardware de
