It’s really quite amazing to login a linux shell on an orangecrab FPGA running a RISV-V softcore, built using an open source toolchain. That was impossible not so long ago! At best you’d have something like Xilinx PetaLinux and all their proprietary junk.
- 3abiton 2y agoThis is and will be a rallying moment soon for the community, both open hardware and software finally working together! This will be huge by the end of the decade.
- taftster 2y agoI guess using some local definition of "huge".

- snvzz 2y agoFun thing is that orangecrab's FPGA is not even a requirement. A tiny iCE40 LP1K will fit SERV (and even QERV) no prob. It's amazing how small a fully compliant RISC-V implementation can be.
