very cool, love the website design and the blog posts had a lot of interesting bits, like the backplate removal jig. I was kinda surprised to see an fpga in there but makes sense. Could that design be repurposed as a general image sensor -> sd card module or is it pretty specific to the sensor?

Hmm interesting question. I think a lot of the FPGA RTL should be reusable for most parallel-output image sensors. (It seems like all the really nice image sensors are headed towards MIPI nowadays though...)

I tried to make SDController.v and RAMController.v as re-usable as possible.
