For Tor this might be a more suitable solution where<br />we can lock down the FPGA configuration, provide local physical and<br />electrical mechanisms that blocks remote tampetering (and local tamper<br />detect).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&No=830">http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&No=830</a><br /><br />The board is not equipped with any Ethernet interfaces, but these can be<br />added using a separate extension board. Either one we design ourselves<br />or using a ready made (if that is ok):<br /><br />http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=71&No=355<br /><br />For the SW/control part we can either add
a separate CPU/MCU or include<br />a CPU core in the FPGA design.<br /><br />--<br />Med vänlig hälsning, Yours<br /><br />Joachim Strömbergson - Alltid i harmonisk svängning.<br />========================================================================<br /> Joachim Strömbergson<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> Secworks AB<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> joachim@secworks.se<br />========================================================================</div></fieldset><br /></blockquote></div><br /></div><p style="margin-top: 2.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;
