#77155 - RE: Purpose of the project Responding to: ???'s previous message |
In part I guess it could be viewed as a technology demonstrator although I'm not sure how useful it is to show that a computer can be built on the 8052. It's obviously the wrong part for the job. It just would show extreme flexiblity of the chip. It's not a small task to generate realtime video, play music, read a harddisk etc for a chip that wasn't meant for this in the first place. Instead of expensive FPGA or even more expensive custom chips, get a $1 '51 and it will do for you whatever you wish. :) Manufacturer of '51 clones we'll use for the project should sponsor us :) |
