Help fund us to create the the first professional quality Open Source GPU and help Kickstart an Open Hardware revolution. The current aim is to finish the final few modes of operation and release our product as a complete, professional, open source hardware platform. We will provide a complete Verilog implementation of a 2D/3D graphics processor capable of OpenGL and D3D with a full test suite that anyone is free to use and improve upon. Our Ultimate stretch goal is to create a complete open source implementation of a modern day graphics accelerator.

What is Open source hardware? For me means Open source hardware just nothing. But how it works and what does it? Just open the link and you know |

Open-source hardware (OSHW) is part of an emerging business model where all the design files of a product, including the circuit schematics, source code and physical design, are made publicly available under a license so that others can improve upon the design and share the improvements with the community. It works in a similar way to open-source software, where there are already established business models that allow for profitable companies. Here are 10 of the most successful open source hardware projects in 2013:

I always knew educators, academics, hobbyists and makers would push open-source hardware and software. Big companies and professional engineers would stay away until it was mature, robust, didn't waste much time, and added lots of value. That day has arrived.

Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the design or hardware based on that design. The hardware’s source, the design from which it is made, is available in the preferred format for making modifications to it. Ideally, open source hardware uses readily-available components and materials, standard processes, open infrastructure, unrestricted content, and open-source design tools to maximize the ability of individuals to make and use hardware. Open source hardware gives people the freedom to control their technology while sharing knowledge and encouraging commerce through the open exchange of designs.

Interresting article as a forwarder from the next article where they go deeper in the subject: "Open Source Hardware". And because open source hardware is the next big thing you can learn more about that subject in this article
Open source hardware for people or for businesses? I think for everyone!!! It is OPEN source so everyone can use it for some more information read the artikel
