Then I thought Maple native looked better, since I don't have any real Arduino investment. And then I saw Oak, and I must say, it would be inappropriate to publicly describe my autonomic physiological reaction. Damn, that's an exciting idea!</p> <p>Unfortunately I have no hardware design experience but I have used FPGA-based vision systems before. I would hope the design will have significant memory bandwidth for things like buffering processed images and comparing images frame to frame in the FPGA? Honestly it's been a decade since I worked on that stuff so I'm a little rusty even remembering all the tricks, and the system I worked with had a very different overall architecture. Still, when I watch a youtube video of that poor little Nao robot struggling to find a bright pink ball on a well lit, flat white backdrop I want to just cuddle it gently, stroke it's hairless lid and then rip out its still beating GEODE processor and replace it with something like Oak. Is that so wrong? </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=751#post-4421 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 16:28:38 +0000 poslathian 4421@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Let me just say, I am really excited about the current design. Do check it out at the link above to help stave of cravings while you wait for the release. It definitely helps. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=751#post-4410 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 02:42:20 +0000 mbolivar 4410@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Hi Shay,</p> <p>We have currently a prototype design waiting for manufacture and testing uploaded to the Oak repository:</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/leaflabs/oak" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/leaflabs/oak</a></p> <p>Based on our past experience, the delay between having a prototype design and bringing a final product to market is typically several months. We're very excited about getting Oak finished, however, and will definitely be keeping everybody posted with updates as they happen. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=751#post-4399 Sat, 23 Apr 2011 07:11:53 +0000 Shay 4399@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>hi, i am new here, my name is shay, and i follow you right from the start,<br /> I'm interested in oak, and want to now what are the predictions to it's release?</p> <p>I'm very interested in starting learning the basics of arm, but want the ability to work with FPGAs on the same board.<br /> I'm a student of electronic engineering, in my final year, and have some experience with designing and building some projects based on FPGAs and AVRs, but never designed a PCB board, or ARM microprocessor.<br /> waiting for oak,<br /> Shay, from Israel. </p>
