Hi all
I am looking for ideas for: "FPGA Single LED Demos", The requirements for
the demo Application are following:

* Display visible 'sign of live' or 'self-test passed' message
* Impemented in FPGA Vendor neutral HDL
* <= 3000 LUT
* <= 4KB of Block RAM
* uncalibrated (+-50%) high frequency oscillator
* 1 user LED for display

The Demo application should have some sort of LED visible 'message' to
indicate the demo is working or has passed internal self test code. There is
no user interface byeound one single LED.

*) RS232 signaling sending something like "POST ok".
Then you could just direct it to any laptop with ir-serial. Possibly IrDA.

*) Morse code.

*) Maybe 10 Mbps ethernet is doable. Guess not thoe :-)

*) With an external mirror+stepper you could reflect the led light onto a
paper and draw something.

With a more stable oscillator possibilities vastly increase.
