OpenPiton release 6 (17-09-21-r6) is now available featuring new simulators and faster boot times.
Headline features of release 6 are:
- Support for Icarus Verilog, enabling you to run much of the OpenPiton simulation infrastructure with an open source simulator
- Support for Cadence NC-Sim (Incisive)
- A new SD controller, supporting SDHC cards up to 32GB, which cuts boot time as much as 50%
- Persistent SD storage for our previous SPI-based SD controller*
Other changes include:
- Clock-gating fix for FPU on FPGA to improve implementation time and results*
- Bug fixes for single-threaded core*
- Documentation improvements*
- Code quality improvements identified due to supporting more Verilog simulators
