--- Quote from: Gerhard_dk4xp on October 17, 2023, 02:14:58 am ---..To be more on-topic: is there an open VHDL or verilog implementation of a small RISC-V family member? Microblaze style, just good enough for C? .. --- End quote --- I played with RudoIV which worked nice here, I made some mods - full 128kB internal spram for C binary, C binary stored in the bitstream flash instead of being read from UART (there is 4MB flash on ice40UP5k fpga based UPduino board).. https://github.com/bobbl/rudolv |

Recall how they rejected established standards for CD/DVD to establish unique China standards for these services to provide a walled garden for local development. --- End quote --- What? Maybe I am missing or misunderstanding something. My wife is Chinese and I have been traveling to China almost yearly for the last 25 years (although not since covid) and all CD/DVD drives, players and disks I have seen or bought there are the same as in western countries. China pretty much skipped the VCR phase and went directly to the CD/DVD which were more prevalent in China than in America 25 years ago. |

Hmmm... I wonder which country hosts the companies that came up with the idea of regional locks for DvDs. |

I have no knowledge of what happened internal to China subsequently. Apparently they eventually switched to world standards. |
