Getting Started

[supratim-k]

Hi!

I was looking to get started with using T-Head-Semi's openc910 core, but just had a few questions about the setup required.

1. What are the minimum specifications (like the number of LUTs) an FPGA board must have to be able to run this core? Are there any recommended FPGAs?
2. Can this core run Linux? What other operating system(s) does this core support?
3. Lastly, is there any recommended OS which I should use when working with the files for this core?

This core is used in a development kit that runs Linux, so it should be able to run Linux.

I have no relationship to the creators of this core. I just was looking at the state of open source RISC-V cores, spotted your question and decided to answer the part I could.
