>Where is the download link for the OpenSPARC [T1 implementation]?
A download link will appear as soon as the full chip RTL (Verilog source code) for the OpenSPARC T1 implementation is ready.It is currently being prepared for release and is expected to be available within 3 months (as announced on Dec 6th).
We (engineers at Sun) are anxious to make it available ASAP! ... but as is the way of the world, when something is to be released publicly, all the legal i's have to be dotted and t's crossed and government regulations must be met, making things take a little longer.
Note that other related information, such as the UltraSPARC Archtiecture spec and the UltraSPARC T1 implementation spec, can and will be made available much sooner than the chip RTL.
To be notified as soon as each piece of OpenSPARC T1 is posted, I'd encourage you to join the OpenSPARC announcement email list. You can do that via web page:
