neslekkim Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Did anyone see this? http://hackaday.com/2013/01/11/ask-hackaday-we-might-have-some-fpgas-to-hack/ Didn't see any info yet about which spartan 6 is inside the box, but these could be kinda interresting to hack on?

Jack Gassett Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 That looks pretty interesting, I wonder how cheap they will be to get a hold of? Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neslekkim Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 on ebay I can find them around $25-50, but shippingcosts are insane for me, guess that's not the problem for you though.In an youtube video, it seems like they have used bga version of the spartan, but still cannot find which one they use.Pictures on hackaday shows devices with dvi, but on ebay I only find vga versions so far.

Jack Gassett Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 It would be really cool if we could make an Open Source version of this box that could use the Pano virtulization software... $18 for domestic shipping is killing me though... I guess I will bite the bullet and buy one just to look at it and see if it's something I can reverse engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neslekkim Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Or find out if Chris in the article is willing to sell some.. I have to pay $50-60 for shipping, so $18 is not that bad:) Woops, only three left on ebay, what's happening? I saw in earlier action someone managed to get 5 pieces for only $5.5 total... maybe wait and see a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Would be cool to make a Zero Client MegaWing for the Papilio. I think it would just be a matter of finding server software and then just making the FPGA handle the datastream that the server virtualization software generates.

FluffyFreak Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 It looks like it's a Spartan6 LX150 FPGA in these pictures. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jredb51gwcpbstf/YmtIta7_qS Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neslekkim Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yes, have also heard that it was an Spartan6, but didn't now the size, remember that it is G2 model that has S6 and DVI, the G1 models have VGA and Spartan3 it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neslekkim Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Would love to buy one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200880792833But I don't need two, and for me, this one would cost $51 in shipping to Norway so I'm not looking even.The Powersupply I guess is of no interrest, most probably 110volt, which I cannot use anyway, but the box alone would be something to play with.

FluffyFreak Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Wow that's expensive, I got a G2 DVI for £39.99 (GBP) and free shipping. Lucky I guess. They do come up cheap occasionally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyFreak Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ah ha, here we go, they seem to have gone DOWN in price! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pano-Logic-Thin-Desktop-Client-Chrome-and-Power-Supply/181062361621?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=008&category=175702&cmd=ViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neslekkim Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Buh, i asked him, but he still don't want to send outside UK.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyFreak Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 A shame, I've just ordered a PapilionPro + ArcadeMegaWing for learning on, the Pano Logic was a bit of an impulse buy for future plans.You can have it for the same as he's asking for it if you think you'll be able to get some use out of it? I had planned to attach a JTAG pins/header and then see how other people were getting on hacking it but to be honest it's probably beyond my abilities at the moment so it might as well go to a good home.I just checked and postage shouldn't be too much so same as he's asking should cover it.

neslekkim Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 That would be great, i don't have imediate plans, just want to make sure I have it, so it's there when I find out how to hack it.If you sell it, or if you could buy the one that is listed now, I would be grateful.I only need the box, the psu is of no use. Send me an PM of what you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
