I found this paper that describes an end-to-end open source design flow for GOWIN FPGAs. I have not read it, I am on vacation 😎🏖️

Sipeed make nice hardware but they give me the impression to just drop it out there with a basic SDK and not really actively support it afterwards. Unless maybe their support is focused on the Chinese-speaking community.

@lupyuen

The problem with open governance is getting the government and tax offices to recognize it. That said I am a big supporter of the idea in theory, but in practice it can be hard or even impossible to do if there is any real cash flow.

that said open collective addresses some of that as do some potential blockchain solutions where the government doesnt really need to play along

@lupyuen I can't help but wonder how different this would have read if it was establishing a co-op with some forward thinking ideas about how governance will work.

@pine64 any chance you could let me know when the pcie to dual sata adapters will be back in stock? I was waiting for one to hit the shelves to conplete my RockPro64 NAS/Desktop computer, but haven't seen one in stock for a while.

p.s. I would be willing to pay extra. :D
