Playing with the Maple BUS...

I've recently begun working on a Maple BUS interface. My plan is to implement the wire protocol in a CPLD, and then use an Atmel microcontroller to implement the data protocol and a serial port interface.

Here is a screenshot of a simulation running in Xilinx ISE WebPack:



This shows the reception of a frame with the header "ABCD" and the payload "HELLOWORLD!".

This is great work. I'm trying to work on something similar (bought a few 9572 CPLD's to play with) for my current project: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=131230

I was curious what kind of progress you've made on this, and whether you'd be willing to share any code or help?
