    Support for Rocket Chip on Zynq FPGAs

  • Early UCB Rocket things were built around Zynq boards, mostly it seems the quite expensive Zedboard, which the ARTY Z7 should be compatible with. e.g. https://github.com/ucb-bar/fpga-zynq

  • neorv32

    :rocket: A tiny, customizable and extensible MCU-class 32-bit RISC-V soft-core CPU and microcontroller-like SoC written in platform-independent VHDL.

  • The NEORV32 RISC-V core supportes a simple demo setup for that board: https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/tree/master/boards/arty-a7-35-test-setup

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
