Design Philosophy
-
Open hardware (todo: select/define license
statement)
-
Open software (todo: select/define license
statement - GPL?)
-
Must be very low cost -
doesn't make sense if end cost is > $60 ($50 or less is best!)
-
Classic design - no
FPGAs or funky circuits. CPU + RAM + ROM - that's all!
