ORSoC has designed a development kit for the OpenRISC processor. This kit enables easy access to the OpenRISC platform and gives the designer a fast start.

The development kit includes the following:

• FPGA (CPU) board: The board is shipped with a pre-defined System on Chip design and includes everything to have a CPU system up and running in no time.

• I/O board: This is a companion board to the FPGA board. The boards may be mounted together via fixed-connectors. The I/O board contains several IOs useful for development of many different products/applications i.e. Ethernet, USB, Audio, GPIO, GPs, etc.

• JTAG-USB debugger: The USB to JTAG debugger is aimed at debugging OpenRISC based systems. One or more OpenRISC processors can be controlled over a JTAG interface by easy connection to a USB host. A local proxy server handles the USB connection and offers a TCP connection to a software debugger.

• VMware-image for easy start, including tool-chain and simulation.

The OpenRISC development kit (platform), in combination with the VMware-image, has been designed to provide engineers an easy path to run the OpenRISC processor in "real" hardware. The VMware-image and OpenRISC development board enables engineers to be up and running extremely fast, basically instantly.

VMware image
ORSoC has bundled together both HW and SW, in order to simplify for engineers to "get started" with the OpenRISC processor. An Ubuntu Linux VMware-image is available at OpenCores and contains the following:

• OpenRISC SoC reference Verilog design (OR1200 processor with peripherals, Verilog test-bench, C-code test application)

• Open source Verilog simulator (Icarus)

• OpenRISC processor toolchain (GCC compiler, GDB debugger)

• Architecture Simulator

• Linux 2.6.19 port

You find VMware image at OpenCores. There you will also find more information about the image.
