APPLICATIONs

• A system-on-chip implemented in a FPGA has been chosen for meeting this goal at the IP core level.
• MilkDrop-esque visuals effects in real time, with a high level of interaction with many sensors and using live audio and video streams as a base.
• Milkymist™ is more than a visual synthesizer - it is also one of the leading open source system-on-chip designs. It is today the fastest open source system-on-chip capable of running Linux, and it comes with an extensive set of features and graphics accelerators.
• Enables advanced users to modify the design, and also permits compact integration of many interfaces (MIDI, DMX512, analog sensors, video inputs), making Milkymist™ a platform of choice for the mobile VJ.
• Mixing some live video into the MilkDrop presets.

SCHEMATIC

The newest RC2 design file is moving on and recording in Milkymist One Schematic Change History. The previous RC1 final schematic is 20100424.The related data sheet can be found in Milkymist_One_RC1_BOM. You could know the key part used on each block.

Developers Needed

• Priority for development is
  • kernel
  • fpga
  • end-user
    • QEMU is working with the system right now!!
  • VJ app
• FPGA Developers (hardest to find, what Sebastien is best at)
• Kernel Developers (hard to find, but there are people helping)
• End-User Apps
  • LibSDL compiles and now works!
  • Need a VJ app
