ACube Systems: Software package for programming the Sam440ep-FPGA
Press release: Bassano del Grappa (Italy) - 24 March 2012

ACube Systems is happy to release a package to explore and enhance the capabilities of the LatticeXP FPGA available on the Sam440ep mini-itx and flex-atx boards.

With the manual, examples and tools of the package it's possible to implement new functionalities into the FPGA, to further strengthen your AmigaOS experience on your Sam440ep board.

The package contains:

- VHDL source code (released under GPL) of the firmware currently used on Sam440ep boards - the original bitstream installed at the factory (to restore the original firmware) - a porting of the VME12 utility which can reprogram, via the JTAG interface, the FPGA on the fly under AmigaOS 4.1 (*)

(*) a simple hardware modification and a cable are required (snx) (Translation: dr)
