[openrisc] Sample, Foundry

[test1@yahoo.com]

Hi
I have idea about co-operation with various Universities worldwide on creating sample OpenRISC CPU for evaluation board/ software development board. This small board can be programmed using serial / Ethernet / USB. The boards will be sold to various Universities / groups / companies. Is this idea possible?

There are several organizations worldwide that help Universities in creating small number of IC (ASIC & SOC):

If OpenRISC is succesful, perhaps large number of CPU can be manufactured using the same "Mask" on commercial IC foundry worldwide:
