Hi everyone,

is www.opencores.org dead for you too?

Seems to be down for the last 24h or 48h (at least).

There is http://www.freerangefactory.org/cores/ of course, but this is just a snapshot from 2012 (or so). Not to mention having personal projects etc

BTW I haven't checked the SVN server yet.


Best regards

thanks for the tip!

This streak of putting many popular sites down (freecode.com, opencollector.org etc) is worrying. Should we contact ORSoC (http://www.orsoc.se/) that bought OpenCores from Damjan to see what is going on? If things persist, I will do so anyway. From ORSoC anyone?

Others will also do so, probably.

Yeah, I just visited their site and they still list opencores in the
marketing blurb. I've sent an email to in...@orsoc.se. We'll see if
they reply.

Try opencores.com (note the .com domain). Not sure what the story is...

Rob.

Thanks @Rob!

BTW the .org top-level domain is up now (maybe from early Monday hours?)

@Rick: i think your email helped! No admin on weekend? Anyway, interested in their reply if any.

opencores.org works for me. Nevertheless there seems to be nobody
to keep the site clean. I wonder what "Wishbone protocol to axi4
protocol" or a camera, a capacitance meter or a digital pet have to do
with arithmetic cores. If that does not improve soon, I'll move
my stuff to my own site.

regards, Gerhard

Works for me too... I remember visiting it a couple of days ago, and it was working.
