[Open-graphics] A really good immediate use for OGD1: PCI bus analyzer

[tonyb]

I'll offer to help with the software.  I've used GTK+ before and that 
fits the cross platform requirement.  Does anyone else have a preference 
for the gui platform?

What is the system configuration?  My guess is that there is an OG card, 
a trace card, and a video card in the system.  The serial port would 
send commands and receive status from the trace card.  The user 
interface would be displayed on the video card.  I think that there 
would be too much data to try to put the gui on the other end of the 
serial port.

A starting point for the trace api would be:
	start trace
	stop trace
	define trigger
	enable trigger
	disable trigger
	trigger depends on trigger X being true
	get status

Can you provide ssh access to a development system?  My preference would 
be that it run Linux and not WinXX.

Cheers,

Tony
