Hi Mike,

I don't know if you are aware of the Koruza open hardware project:

http://www.koruza.net/specs/
http://www.koruza.net/scientific/

I'm not sure that is what you are looking for, but might be a good
starting point. I can connect you to Luka Mustafa, who is the lead of
this project - we have provided some grants to the project in its early
days.

Best,
Michiel Leenaars
