folks, I wanted to create something like shell on FPGA. There is some term like character generator which is used to create characters
<Guest98>
So I input k from keyboard and character generator takes this character and supposedly puts it on vga screen
<Guest98>
Can someone name that term? Is it 'character generator'?
<Guest98>
Someone also gave me a repo which he/she had coded in vhdl, gitlab repo.
<xiretza[m]>
you will probably want a text buffer that contains code points (one for each character position on screen), a font that maps code points to pixel values, and something that builds scan lines by combining the code point from the text buffer with the pixel data from the font
<Guest98>
fantastic. Thanks a ton gatecat. On top of that it's GPLv3 licensed! Wow!
<Guest98>
Can I take this code and license a derivative code with AGPLv3?
<Guest98>
Or must I have GPLv3?
<gatecat>
neither a lawyer nor the author of that code, but aiui the legal situation of copyleft licenses in respect of gateware is very unclear in any event

Title: licensing - Can a user relicense LGPL as GPL or GPL as AGPL? - Software Engineering Stack Exchange (at softwareengineering.stackexchange.com)
<tnt>
Guest98: yes, resulting derived work would be agpl.
<Guest98>
thanks tnt :)
