A very simple MIPS processor I've built as part of a university lecture running on my Icepi Zero!

Hello World from my new Icepi Zero! :D


#FPGA #Lattice #VHDL #DVI
@the Those screws let me know when tight physically if I have it connected or not, and I don't need to be able to feel my fingers fully either, I can listen for when they stop & thusly abrade my fingers a little. This makes the computer system more #Accessible to me without the BS of "hiring help" be it in person or considering a remote diagnostician to tell me if my USB tip is worn out or if I've not pushed it in enough, as I can't even tell when I've got full sensation on said garbage. #DisabilityAccessibility #DVI #Enshittification
I got a computer monitor with VGA, DVI-D and DisplayPort interfaces and speakers for free. My #laptop has just an #hdmi interface. Fortunately, my cable for conversion between #hdmi and #dvi works well for displaying purposes. But there is no sound transmitted from the laptop to the monitor. Would a different cable change that or does it also depend on the monitor / laptop interface ?
If I connect my laptop to, say, the TV I can select #hdmi for output of the sound. This option is not available if the monitor is connected.
Funny how #HDMI was supposed to be the USB C of #DVI, but the licensing is so absurd that Intel silently dropped support for high resolution over HDMI last March. It couldn't even kill DVI. I'm just glad #DisplayPort is finally killing off HDMI, though I think HDMI should have been stillborn.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social well, *"#shitpost"* aside there are #CardBus cards that do #PCI and PCI -> PCIe - chips like the #PEX8112 [are common](https://github.com/OS-1337/tiny486/blob/main/documentation/external/PEX8112.pdf) so it should be possible to just go CardBus -> #ExpressCard -> #PCIe. - In fact, if I were as good as @rasteri@mastodon.scot when it comes to PCBs I'd shoved an #SM750 [into such a card](https://github.com/OS-1337/tiny486/blob/main/documentation/external/SM750.pdf) with like 2x #DVI over #MiniHDMI as output to avoid a #dongle or mechanically straining thicc connector. So the only absurd thing is the pictured miniaturization, which will likely take 10-25 years to reach that small spacial & thermal envelope. - I should really stop taking #Shitposts by #NanoRaptor seriously...

@wyatt Pretty shure there are some generic #VGA / #DVI -> #LVDS controller boards and means to get that #wacom digitizer screen working fine.

  • I just don't have the parts nor time at hand to #upcycle it myself...

Maybe check eNay or ShitExpress for some controller board?

@wezm @modos I really wish there were more #eInk #Displays that can be used transparebtly via #DVI or #DisplayPort...
