A new RPL firmware for the 50g

[David Hayden]

There are two advantages to supporting SysRPL. First, if we write some of the code in SysRPL then it will be MUCH smaller than equivalent C/C++ code. This will matter if we want to put it on hardware. Second, it means that a translator from existing HP libraries to "new RPL" is possible and that would be a big help in porting existing SysRPL to the new system.

Keep in mind also that, even if we don't implement the SysRPL entries, we'll still have to write all/most of the functionality in them.

Claudio, I'm honored that you're following my progress. I'm certainly willing to collaborate on a system, but I'm thinking that it's too early to make it available. If I get bogged down in discussions and disagreements I might lose my enthusiasm. You've been through the process with HPGCC so I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
