[oc] Re: Graphic Engine Project?

I think ultimately we would like to make our entire design wb compatible, so 
that we can use the vga_lcd core and parts of the wb memory controller.  
However, in its current state, the core only uses modules that we've 
designed, including an SDRAM controller and a vga unit.  Like I said in an 
earlier post, I would be interested in testing the vga_lcd core, so 
interfacing it with our project could be done at the same time. 

We've been doing most of our testing of the 3D core with these custom 
designs.  Once we finish up with school, we will clean up our code according 
to the wb coding standards, and bring most, if not all of it, over to 
OpenCores.  At that point, I think we will try and move towards full wb 
compliance.  Being new here, I think that we'll need some pointers from more 
experienced members to make this happen, but it already seems like that 
won't be a problem. 

There are a lot of possibilities for integration with existing OpenCore 
designs.  We can use the CORDIC core for 3D transformations, and if we 
incorporate the PCI interface into the design, we've got a open-source video 
adapter.
