- phkahler 8y agoMy wording was a bit harsh. The git repository hasn't been very active, but not dead. The C extension is mentioned in that video as a priority but it sounds like some of the other priorities are being worked on (maybe there's funding for spectre mitigation work). Anyone who wants to use BOOM outside of research is going to need the C option because that's the standard for OSes. They said it's nice not to have to maintain a fork of Rocket Chip, the same will be true of not needing to recompile everything without C. It is more active than I thought.
