My #1 question is who the heck did you guys off to get a Zynq under $99, getting it in bulk for half price would be amazing but you guys are planning on the entire board being $99. Did you guys sign a deal with Zylinx and this price point is only a limited quantity deal or can we expect to order next year and it still be the released price?
#2 is I would love to hear some posts on the trials and tribulations of getting custom silicon manufactured. Gate level development is fascinating and you need to be a physics ninja.
#3 you should have a progress & goals tab on the home page. That way people tracking progress over the next few months can see a 0-100% bar graph of each phase/components progress. And I love graphs so I might be a bit bias.
#4 I have been reading but have not found a release date goal. I'm not looking for a day but are we looking at 4th quarter of 2013 or something?
When I can get my hands on a board I would like to try out some fuzzy logic applications but with the entire logic implemented with a weighted/lifetime neuron model. I have been poking around with it on my workstation but required processing power is exponential to nodes and I can easily overrun a gig of ram before I have calculated anything worthwhile.
Thanks!
Going forward, the basic Parallella board will include the Zynq-7010 but there will be higher performance boards available with the Zynq-7020 as well.
