Hey Dan;

I like that idea, but I gather that is not too plausible..... the flash program requirements apparently are not compatible with the Propeller silicon process, so we stilll would need an external EE to hold the program.

But your concept is great.......... IF we could get a single cog running at some decent speed, say 50-plus MIPs, then with the COG assembly multi-tasking operating system that is soon to be available, we could run a dozen or so independent tasks in that COG, and out perform the SX. And have multi-tasking SX/B to boot!

Man, I'd beat THAT drum!...... solve all my problems.

I'm just guessing here: The first prop was probably done in VHDL on an FPGA, and the design migrated to needing a EEPROM from that...

I'm guessing that a good portion of the logic could be ported to any process. 

 

Just think of it, A low power screaming fast 32 bit processor, with long term supply, and all the great technical support and learning tools parallax has to offer. A processor designed for Assembly, not C!   AND a whole library of Objects (from the prop) that could be utilized as examples.

 

Also, just think of the basic stamp Parallax could build with that thing! ;)  

 

I'm drooling just thinking about it!
