opencores网站要去对OpenRisc进行流片，筹款进行中
HELP US SHOW THE OLD CONSERVATIVE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY THAT OPEN-SOURCE IS HERE TO STAY AND WILL CHANGE THE INDUSTRY!Please help us create the "worlds first true open-source OpenRISC ASIC", meaning:
- Build and release all design files as "true" open-source.
- Offer it back to the donors as a super-low cost ASIC.
- Use a "flat price model", meaning that the price-level will be set accordingly based on the accumulated annual volume, which means everyone will benefit if the volumes goes up, not only buyers with high volumes. The more we are, the lower unit-price we will get.
THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO TRY AND CHANGE, BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Some of us who have worked for Semiconductor companies have seen the large margins and the large price differences depending if you were a large customer with many different products, or if you are a smaller company with a great new product. Since price always is important , it is today almost impossible to compete with large companies even if you have a "better" product.
We are very happy to see that the existing donors are donating quite allot of money per person, however since we are so many members of the OpenCores community (117.000 users), we basically would be well off with a couple of $ per person. What we are trying to say is that all donations counts and matter allot!
Since we do not know yet what ASIC-technology we can afford, the current design specification is "not set in stone". We want the community and donors to provide feedback when we have better indication on what ASIC technology we can use. The ASIC technology selection defines both how much logic (functionality) and what performance we can get, which then impacts what functions we can/should integrate, for example, it would be great if we can integrate multiple OpenRISC processors, PCIexpress etc.
HELP US MAKE THIS WORK, AND SHOW THE OLD CONSERVATIVE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY THAT OPEN-SOURCE IS HERE TO STAY AND WILL CHANGE THE INDUSTRY!

Best regards, OC-team 我也收到这个邮件了，
要是我有钱就去捐点了。
不知道捐款的能不能收到两片。 流片,每个百把万搞不定吧？ 目前已有捐款118392$ 回复【3楼】1ongquan

芯片做出来了，干什么用？ 其实我也想不通老外门打的什么算盘,propeller公司(就是国外流行的邮票板的生产商)的多核单片机,几乎是他们老板一人之力设计,测试的,那个片子象是面向教育设计的,经常在国外杂志见到,开发环境也不错
看我们的傻叉龙芯,连个手册都木有 回复【4楼】ljt8015

芯片出来了才知道有什么用，测试测试，给人评估性能等等。
很多东西的用途都不是事先知道的，很多研究都是弄着玩，纯属好奇心，弄出来之后才有人去发现其用途。
中国的科研项目申报就不合理，老让别人写研究出来的东西有什么用。 回复【6楼】ssaweee

这点上你错怪中国了,全世界的科研开始之前的项目申报都是一样的.... OpenRisc到現在已超过十年,十年后才想对OpenRisc进行流片有奌晚了,ARM-M0的性能和低价格已经使OpenRisc除了教育外,不具任何意议.
许多 IC foundry 目前都提供几乎免費的RISC CPU CORE, 因此也让OpenRisc不易发展. 回复【7楼】ilovezeno2

贝尔电话实验室在成立之初设立了一个长期目标：提高电话交换系统的可靠性。但实验室没有具体的研究项目，因为就没人知道到底研究什么才能提高电话交换系统的可靠性。所以实验室对研究员的规定就是你觉得什么有用就研究什么吧。结果。。。。
贝尔实验室所取得的成就咱就不提了好吧。反正站长莫大有个理想就是寻一个风景如画的海岛，把一批牛人关在岛上爱琢磨什么就琢磨什么。 楼上，贝尔的辉煌早已过去，没落也已经很久了 回复【9楼】chunk

呵呵，贝尔实验室是应用实验室基础研究比较少，也是有很多不知道用途的研究，比如上次看到有个科学杂志对贝尔实验室研究的评论就是贝尔实验室里到处都是各种各样找不到用处的微机械（硅片上蚀刻的齿轮，轴，电机等等）。

转入幕后， 知道电子纸把？很大部分电子纸上面的印刷晶体管就是贝尔实验室提供的有机半导体材料。很多技术都是需要储备的，别人研究的都是几十年以后才能应用的技术。当然他们靠做工业开发找钱，像美国麦当劳的消费系统，化工装置。 哪里有OR1200的板子卖？
