Subject: [oc] Available: Detailed RISC CPU IP Core Design Documentation
Peter,
you are right - the spec and implementation seems to be really nice,
straight-forward and well documented. But if you have a second glance
at it you'll realize that the available source code is not
synthesizable - it's just a functional description...
So I assume you'll have to buy the *real* core from
SummitSoftConsulting - and that's why the description is posted
here... Correct me if I'm wrong.
