Open Graphics Project

The project created a reprogrammable development and prototyping board and had aimed to eventually produce a full-featured and competitive end-user graphics card.

The project's first product was a PCI graphics card dubbed OGD1, which used a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip.

Source code to the device drivers and BIOS will be released under the MIT and BSD licenses.

It has 256 MiB of DDR RAM, is passively cooled, and follows the DDC, EDID, DPMS and VBE VESA standards.

Versioning schema for OGD1 will go like this: {Root Number} – {Video Memory}{Video Output Interfaces}{Special Options e.g.: A1 OGA firmware installed} Main components of OGD1 graphics card (shown on the picture)[3] The OGP project failed to gain the necessary funding to produce an ASIC version of its card.
