there will be no MAX-III, and how the "followup" Flash FPGA/CPLD from Altera would be is something mr B from Altera didnt really want to reveal at Embedded... But after checking out the FREE ColdFire v1 core that can be fully integrated with SOPC, and is completly free for Cyclone III, I can now belive that that the new Altera Flash FPGA will really have hardened ColdFire core. I just hope they have learned from the mistakes with MAX-II, and will include user writeable flash blocks like they are available in Lattice XP2. Antti
