What's already done:

• The PCB artwork for the Open Graphics Project Development Board OGD1
• The schematic for the OGD1 Development Board http://natsuki.kinali.ch/OGD1_Schematic_RevB.pdf
  • Guide to OGP names and numbers
• Rendering model: http://opengraphics.gitk.com/opengr1_1.tgz
  • The most recent model version in SVN
• Open graphics simulator
• Generalised float adder: http://lists.duskglow.com/open-graphics/2005-February/001921.html
• For everything else check SVN repository at https://svn.suug.ch/repos/opengraphics/main

What is next..
T. Miller Jun 06:since we're working on OGD1 right now, the discussions have a distinct bias towards the hardware-design aspects of the project(...)Lots of people with varied levels of hardware knowledge on this list have been invaluable in helping to collect information and ideas together and put it into a form that is digestible to the general population, as well as helping us hardware engineers keep organised and focused on our jobs. Other things we can use help with include web development. Experts have contributed some great stuff, but you could assist them. There's research that can be done on all sorts of things (legal, marketing, technical, etc.). We have a software model of the 3D graphics engine; some more work needs to be done to make the ideas in it transparent to other people, particularly those who will write drivers. And we need to construct a non-profit foundation that handles, among other things, donations used to buy OGD1 boards for developers who will help us with the graphics engine work.

JBlack Jun 06:
the wiki needs constant updating. This is full of small jobs where someone with attention to detail is valuable.

Where do we go from there?
After development with OGD1 Traversal is hoping to produce a card for the embedded market. T. Miller Jun 06: The ASIC (with a TRVxxx part number) will be for what you might call high-end embedded systems. It'll also be put on a PCB and called OGCx and sold to end users.

See the Road Map for the working timeline for OGA development on OGD1 cards.
