[Coco] DE1 / DE2 boards

[Salvador Garcia]

Thanks Dave, I'll look into it. Although I am eager to get into the CC3FPGA, I just realized that I am in the middle of various projects and fear that the DE1 would end up on a shelf. This is the second year that I've postponed this project (getting laid off in Aug '15 did not help any). Salvador

Salvador,

I believe that Gary has fixed the problem with the 'new' memory in his 
latest version.  That being said, I believe I have one DE1 board with 
the 'new' memory and one with the 'old' memory.

I am a member of the Yahoo FPGA group, but honestly, with so much stuff going on right now, I have not seriously visited (I have have skimmed it though) the group ina while. At this time I do not know whether there is still a problem with the newer RAMs. If this has been resolved then I can do with a DE1 with the new RAM. If not resolved, then I definitely want to get one that has been modified. Regards, Salvador
