* to implement those instructions in actual hardware, for running in an FPGA
* to follow through with the upstream submission and acceptance of customisation of relevant software libre video decode projects and toolchains.
+This needs to be done iteratively because it is only when a certain high level of functionality is reached (FPGA, full simulation) will it be possible to properly determine if the proposed instructions actually meet the requirements.
# Does the project have other funding sources, both past and present?
from NLNet. However that is for specifically covering the development
of the RTL (the hardware source code).
-There is no source of funds for the work on the *next* stage: the actual

-All these three projects are separate and distinct (despite being related
