Yes, I think a small, high performance board for embedded
applications would be a good fit for oberon.</div>
<div>A user friendly bridge between oberon programs and „hardware
implemented algorithms“ would be a nice feature.</div>
<div>This could be very helpful for students, engineers and other
people which are interested in hardware / software codesign
experiments and the development of new system approaches.</div>

I like this idea as a mid term goal, say reachable within 5 years.
Lets think about the major steps needed to go there? <br>
Starting from here and now, say for (a) "Project Oberon 2013" and
or (b) "ETH Oberon" as initial system, and <br>
having every year a new release moving the current system step by
step into target solution, say first as <br>
target a ARM SoCs System with FPGA (for 2020) and after that moving
the system forward to "HW/SW Codesign <br>
solution" (for 2025). But every release should be a "Oberon Starter
Kit".<br>
