Availability of OberonStation
Hi, I am new to this list - attracted by the low resource requirement of the Oberon System. A few quick questions: Could someone advise me please of the availability of the OberonStation kit - currently showing a "Sold Out" status. Is there a new batch expected in the near future? Have any of the list had experience of the Oberon system on the Xilinx Artix-7 - specifically on the $99 Arty board - is this a preferred platform? Finally, and perhaps best addressed to Chris Burrows - I see that you have produced packages for the ARM M3 and M4 Cortex - mainly NXP. Do you have any aspirations to port to Cortex M7 - such as the $50 STM32F7 Discovery Platform - which has a great selection of useful hardware on-board? regards Ken London
Hi Ken, you are welcome !
Have any of the list had experience of the Oberon system on the Xilinx Artix-7
I have an Oberon System running on Arty (Xilinx-Artix-7).
- is this a preferred platform?
In my opinion, the potential market niche for OberonSystem is embedded; so, in this scenario yes, Arty is a good platform for experimenting. The Xilinx Artix-7 35T have resources for RISC5 and additional hardware. -- Walter Daniel Gallegos Programmable Logic & Software Consultoría, Diseño, Entrenamiento.

Ken, there are OberonStations available - just select the assembled version, with case and all extras. I think you were looking at the 'bare' kit - no longer offered. On 01/18/2016 12:58 AM, Ken Boak wrote:
