| I am Motohiro Kurisu, director of Hirotech, Inc in 
Japan. My company has been made IPs almost three years 
and have sold them to the U.S. companies such as Zilog and 
 TeleCruz. Last November, I made an open source code of my 
scalable RISC engine which covers 8bits, 16bits and 32bits 
instruction as well as 64bits.  I had a patent for this architecture 
in the U.S..  It uses modified harvard architecture, combine 
two instructions in one cycle, change the instruction 
implementation width.  So the same instruction can be used for 8, 16, 32 
and 64bits. The article and source code are published on one of Japanese 
 magazine twice.  I am going to release 32 bits engine one 
or two  months later.  I have two customers right now, I just 
released beta version to one customer.   It uses Xilinx 
XCV300 device and runs about 30MHZ.  16 bits one is a little higher, 
33-35MHZ. I have heard that your organization is doing same thing and I 
 hope  I can work with your organization if it is 
possible.  I know the source code should be open for market because they 
have a different platform for develop environment.  They want 
to check it in FPGA very quick and source code is needed. My company has RISC engine core designed for 
network application, graphics co-processor, and 
tiny 8 bit machine.  We also have TS-DMUX module for digital TV, pixel OSD for TV micro, 8251, UART, 
PWM, I..R. capture, HDTV memory controller.  I am not sure 
which one should be open but RISC engine is open now. Hope someone is interested in my project and can 
work together. My RISC engine aims at embedded solution, not PC 
applicaion. I did not know your organizaion well so I did it 
in Japan at first, soon, same article is published in Korea.
