If someone was to provide a working set of units, I could try them all
out. I could try the multiplier unit aswell as the FPGAs I am using are
relatively large (approximately 40000 Look up tables/ Flip Flops units).
It might not fit but its always worth a try.
I am curious about the target of the F-CPU. A lot of the design seems
to be oriented towards FPGAs and their four input logic, yet the
multiplier most certainly is not. So my question simply is: What is the
current target platform for the first F-CPU? Is it an FPGA or a custom
chip.
