So x86/64 support via BT, cool. But I couldn't readily find any (English language) docs describing the native instruction set, have you folks seen any?

  This doesn’t have any info about the instruction set.

    Detailed description of instruction set is secret. You can't even download sources for the patched Linux kernel without signing strict NDA.

      Surely this must constitute a violation of the GPL.

      Instruction set documentation was released a few days ago: http://elbrus.ru/efficient_elbrus_programming_book_2020-05 http://elbrus.ru/efficient_elbrus_programming_book_2020-05

        In fact you can't use this manual to create compiler for Elbrus. It looks like you still have to be russian citizen with signed NDA to get all required documentation.
