\item the \textbf{Milkymist System-on-Chip} (SoC), which is one of the leading open source SoC designs. It contains the LatticeMico32 CPU core (which makes up approximately 20\% of the lines of code) running at 80MHz, peripheral cores for all the features of the Milkymist One, and graphics accelerators.
\item the \textbf{Milkymist BIOS} (bootloader)
\item the \textbf{Flickernoise} VJ software (based on the \textbf{RTEMS} real time operating system) which is a end-user GUI application that lets you create visual effects on the Milkymist One.
\item the \textbf{Flickernoise} VJ software (based on the \textbf{RTEMS} real time operating system and the \textbf{MTK} GUI toolkit) which is a end-user GUI application that lets you create visual effects on the Milkymist One. Please note that Flickernoise is still experimental and work-in-progress software, so some features will not work.

Connect a VGA screen and a USB keyboard and mouse to your board. Use the provided supply adapter to power your board, then press the middle push button to start it.

Use a power supply adapter different from the provided one \textbf{at your own risk}. The board needs a tightly \textbf{regulated} power supply, and many cheap wall plug adapters can often cause overvoltages due to a poor regulation that \textbf{can damage the board}.

\section{Welcome}
You can use your Milkymist One for video synthesis with Flickernoise or for any other purpose (even as a general-purpose FPGA development board). But feel free to re-use our code and contribute your changes back so fewer wheels have to be re-invented. Most of the code is covered by the GNU GPL (including the SoC design).

In either case, we hope you will enjoy running a free OS on free hardware :)

\section{Case}
The Milkymist One does not come with a case yet. But for the CAM fanatics among you, there is a ``Steampunk DIY'' design, made at the Raumfahrtagentur hacklab in Berlin, that you can reproduce yourself with a laser cutter. You can download the design files from \url{http://www.milkymist.org/mmone.html}, and even buy time from Raumfahrtagentur's laser cutter. See \url{http://www.raumfahrtagentur.org}.
The Milkymist One EDK does not come with the case included. But an amazing acrylic case, designed and manufactured at the Raumfahrtagentur hackspace (\url{http://www.raumfahrtagentur.org}), is available for sale separately as a kit. Ask your distributor -- or you can make it yourself with a laser cutter.

Thank you again for your purchase of a Milkymist One EDK. We hope to hear from you soon!
