Re: Weekly Report of Porting musl to RISC-V Project #5
by Alan Pillay
What is the current status of musl on RISC-V?
This was the last time I heard about it, but it has been many months since.
Regards.

low-risc on Xilinx FPGA
by Brad Walker
I've noticed there is a port, with bitstreams, of the Low-Risc processor to
the Nexy Artix-7 FPGA board.
Has anyone done any work to get the processor instantiated on the Xilinx
Zynq family (i.e. Zedboard/Microzed) of FPGAs?
Thanks.

ps: BTW, Keep up the great work!
