[oc] New core Request For Proposal/Quotation

[Jim <klasix@yahoo.com>]

Project Name:   AVACS
Purpose of this RFP/RFQ: Development/costing of a
component to be utilized in a "public domain"
(GNU/OpenCore [hardware and software]) DIS/EFI system.
 Cost is a major factor [privately funded]. 
Functionality is a given.  If you are car nut, so much
the better.

Current System Design:

MicroController: Atmel ATmega 128 (5V) running at
15MHz.  Twenty 82c54 Counter/timers running in Mode 1
(one-shot). Comparator and other timing functions in
software.

Requirements:

1) Clear and concise documented VHDL code.
2) If selected CPLD/FPGA has "special features"
utilized, and VHDL opt-out method/alternative must be
defined.  Unless, of course, you can convince me a
particular device is an absolute gotta-have and won't
disappear in the next week .. or two.
3) Buss Interface: The Atmega 128 has 'standard' 16/8
multiplexed buss with Read/Write and ALE.  No more, no
less.
4) Twenty (60) sixteen-bit count-DOWN counters.  One
Counter will take input from an encoder
(cam/crankshaft) and will reset once every revolution
to zero (If possible, doubling the encoder input
frequency).  The other counters will run at
1/2 of the system clock to determine the pulse width
for ignition and injector drivers and will be fired by
a signal from ..
5) One of twenty (20) sixteen-bit 'matched'
comparators.
6) General idea is to have the crank/cam counter
output a value on an internal 'buss'. The comparators
will fire the timers on a match. Timer counts down to
zero and resets the comparator. The uC will determine
the when-and-how-longs.  Somewhat like the Motorla TPU
function(s)?
7) Inputs would be those required for the uC interface
and outputs would be from (I'll say UP To) the sixty
(60) timers.
8) No real problem with splitting between multiple
devices.

Project Info:
Have been tinkering with Xilinx ISE and CoolrunnerII
development board.  Didn't take long to determine it
would be awhile (an understatement) before I
mastered 'everything' .. assuming I did.  Being
somewhat of a realist resulted in this RFQ/RFP.
In no rush nor dallying, I must define what I am
writing to/from and otherwise have my hands full with
Wide-Band, ION sensing and a small host of related
items.  These 'may' migrate to CPLD/FPGA also. 
Preference is CPLD .. but not a fixed issue.  If you
want to join in on the project (two of us over the
last 5-months), reasonably amiable, perhaps a bit
sarcastic and maybe even human, drop me a note.

Realize I did not cover everything as doing so would
fix things within my narrow view of implementation. 
Open for alternatives and constructive (non-flaming)
critiques.

Please submit interest/questions to mp_ctrl@yahoo.com.
 I will direct you to another
site for RFQ/RFP submissions (need not be formal).
