QA testing MNT Reform Kintex-7 modules with soft RISC-V core (LiteX/VexRiscV) and our eDP encoder board

what's missing to make this already pretty cool setup even cooler:
- fund a real batch (assembled at a pcb house) so we can get the price way down
- test/integrate naxriscv (out-of-order 64 bit core)
- implement a scaler in the gateware to 1/2 or 1/4 the resolution on demand to make up for 100Mhz speed

it is so nice somehow to have a completely open system (hw/gw/sw) with networking and usb input devices and displayport

@mntmn sounds wonderful. If even a few hundred people were actively developing with this board I think we'd see some amazing hardware ideas come to life.

I really hope you can raise the funds to make a large batch and bring the price down. 🤞

@mntmn really super cool stuff! I’m so glad to live in a world where this is a possibility

@mntmn The Kintex-7 module is listed as incompatible with the Pocket Reform on your website, right? Is that for physical reasons, or is it something that could potentially be solved in gateware?
