- Hmmm... sounds quite nice if I may say so. Build the board with it's
- own CPU and some private + some shared memory (shared with the host system),
- and write a teeny little OS for the board, which would be mainly RPC calls,
- and also a 'MULTIPROCESSOR.library' for the host :)
- I don't know if said library would be too far fetched, but it could
- include for example, a 'select_card' call, 'loaddata', 'savedata',
- 'sendrpc', etc etc. That way, each specific application that used said
- cards could adapt to new ones without much effort. What do you think?
