    OpenRISC 1000: Linux

    Introduction

    The aim of this project is to port and maintain Linux kernel to the OpenRISC 1000 family and develop device drivers for various OpenCores peripherals.

    Linux is a free, open source UNIX kernel that together with the GNU C library and GNU utilities forms the GNU/Linux operating system.

    Features are:

    • Free, open source code with no royalty
    • UNIX class operating system
    • Process protection through use of the Memory Management Unit
    • Multitasking, preemptive scheduling
    • Interprocess communication and synchronization
    • TCP/IP networking and numerous other network protocols
    • File systems NFS, ext2, MS-DOS, FAT16/32 and others

    Status

    • Linux kernel v. 2.4.x port is finished and runs in simulator and in hardware
    • Linux kernel v. 2.6.x port is finished and will shortly be included in the CVS databse
    If you would like to help with the development, please contact the developers.

    Download

    Source code of the OpenRISC Linux 2.4.x port is available from OpenCores CVS. Linux kernel v. 2.6.x port will shortly be included in the CVS database. You are welcome to try it and send us bug reports.

    Documentation

    No documentation available at this time. See Linux.com web site for information about Linux.

    Wish List (TODO List)

    This is a what we want to do/have in the future and right now nobody is working on this. If you want to help, send an email to the mailing list.

    • Device Drivers for various OpenCores peripherals (PCI,...)
    • Various optimizations and code cleanup
    • Documentation to help newbies
    If you have a suggestion for new Wish List entry, feel free to send it to the mailing list so that is added to the list and somebody may start working on it.
