Well done! Nice Board!
In earlier thread you asked quote:
Can anyone provide further input, how will an FPGA match against the SHARC ?
As an example among many you might take brief peek at:

They do all the signal processing on FPGA's.Well at least they used to!Whether or not is faster then a SHARK i dunno.

I think Peter Vogel is using a CC1 for his remake of the Fairlight CMIII/II.

Thanks,
I too think FPGA and SHARC DSP`s have alot of overlap in some areas, but then this showed at my door 3 months ago and its a freaking beast!! let me say that again..its a FREAKING BEAST see attachment.

They went from having hardly any peripherals in their 4-gen SHARCS to an arsenal of peripherals..
I will be using this primary for doing research involving room correction stuff, this is early silicon release, the new processors will be shipping mid next year.
