Now: my open-source #OpenCV compatible #FPGA Stereo Vision Core: 30 FPS VGA in #Xilinx S3E 500; 1080p in Spartan-6 LX75! http://t.co/W0mox9q

Just posted a writeup on my FMC-LPC to SATA adapter board - designed for the #Xilinx SP605 Spartan-6 #FPGA board: http://t.co/xUshhar

Apparently Xilinx's Spartan-6 #FPGA AXI PCIe core uses AXI4-*stream*; so I have to write a whole new bus wrapper anyway (probably plain AXI)

[Dan Strother @danstrother]

Oh, that's just brilliant. Whoever assembled my Xilinx SP605 board managed to load the molex power connector backwards (12V on 5V!).

12 chapters of "Linux Device Drivers" down - http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ - just a few more to go...

[Dan Strother @danstrother]

Just received my remaining MT9V032 camera boards - http://flic.kr/p/8TRkRW - now I actually have enough to do stereo vision.

Okay: I'll give this Twitter thing a shot.
