[9fans] 9P on FPGA?

[dexen deVries]

is there any known 9P implementation for FPGA? or has anyone been working on 
communicating with FPGAs over 9P?

Technically yes, because inferno runs hosted on microCOS on a Nios2 soft cpu on
Altera FPGAs.  But I imagine you're looking for something lower level?

thanks, will look into that.
but i imagine this particular implementation may be somewhat coupled to 
inferno and/or Nios.

anything goes, Verilog preferred. i'm simply trying to learn something new :^)

similar: there was a project at the University of York ("Styx on a Chip")
that developed some sort of module that could allow devices to export name
spaces. Styx and 9P2000 were by that time identical.

The earliest project was demonstrated at an Embedded Systems show at
Birmingham NEC.
It was one of only two rather cool things at the show (most of the show was
boring UML stuff).
The other cool thing was Lars Bok's (Esmertec) OSVM: real-time
garbage-collecting Smalltalk running in 64k on a micro, offering on-the-fly
code updates. Superb.
