Subject: [openrisc] OR12xx and beyond
Hi,It appears that the version of or1200 for download at the BSEMI
website is the same as the latest version in the opencores CVS
repository (please correct me if this isn't correct). I'd like to be sure I
am downloading the best "prod" version of or1200 as a starting point.
The BSEMI website says that or1210 has been tested all the way to
silicon and is running Linux 2.6.x. Has the latest version of or1200 been
similarly tested to run Linux?
Thanks,
Omar
