this post says that vnc is preinstalled.

however - thx for your feedback, I will just manually install one.

thank you.
I know I need to update / flash my 7i76eu.
The "bundle" from your webpage contains 20+ different firmware files... I would assume that 7i76eud.bin/pin are the correct ones, right? (for a standalone 7i76eu without any extensions)

This should work for 2.8 and up, notice the hal command at the end for refreshing the Gremlin (plotter).

Thanks. With you and juliankoenig and the links, I have plenty to work with.
I really appreciate you guys taking time to reply and share your knowledge.

Not really what I wanted, but I think it will work.
Thanks for the link to the example code.
Thanks for your help.

I recall there was chat about including it, i was against it as it is a huge security risk and not required for machine control.

If it is included, it does require setting up the password for VNC explicitly, at least it did 10 or more years back.

The ICE40 module is very nice, unfortunately for us living in Australia the $34 module has an $86 shipping fee, then converted to AUD it will be close to $190 AUD...the ECP5 kit will land here for about $100, and has a lot more IO. 

When you say programming the ECP5 is slow, is that via USB within Riocore and are we talking minutes or half an hour ? I can stock extra coffee ! 

Cheers.
