Hi Manili is talking with the guy who created the NyuziProcessor. We will most likely just boot a firmware on a multi-core GPU-system and will then be able to define the kind of platform with jumpers or alike. A jumper code for how many HDMI/DVI/VGA ports there are.
The same way nVidia does it just way less ugly :-D (Advantage is that new features can easily be added by updating the firmware) And because we provide the source code for the firmware, RMS will be happy as well.
Cheers David

As it happens: We're in China and have access to these folks you've mentioned. But careful! Salaries here a raising continuously here so it might be not as cheap as you might expect either.
i know. the facttory's already moved out to dongguang, several companies are moving even further. some people are moving as far as zhuhai however with the HK-Zhuhai road bridge coming online property developers are speculative-buying and it's going mental.
Anyway. I'm working on getting a basic SoC wired together right now with all the essentials inside, so that we can test to boot up a Linux with HDMI output on a RISC-V.
cool. vga_lcd. https://github.com/RoaLogic/vga_lcd - richard's updated it. many FPGA dev boards have an RGB/TTL-to-HDMI converter IC on board (TFP410 or equivalent).
