Looking for Ultimate RISC/MISC that runs LINUX Website - Derek Simmons - 2010-02-21 19:45:00
I realize what I'm looking for might not be out there anymore but I'm trying to give it my best shot. A couple of years ago I came across a website that somebody put up describing an ultimate RISC or MISC processor they were developing. One of their goals was to be able to run LINUX on it. Was having a conversation with of friend of mine that made me think of this and I wondered if they ever achieved their goal. I think his processor had 16 different instructions and they had implemented it using an FPGA. Does this sound familair to anybody? Thanks, Derek

It sounds a little mangled to me ? ~16 instruction cores have been discussed, but they are at the educational end of the spectrum, rather than Linux capable. Antti may be along shortly to add more ;) -jg

Doing processor design myself, but not interested in booting linux as a primary goal. Getting a boot loader written to load flash into the 128K memory is my goal. Then filling the boot sectors of the flash. I think after a little bit of thought, I will get the on chip flash to be twice as effective almost, by not using the MSB of the 16 bit word. But that's another day. cheers jacko http://nibz.nibzx.co.uk
