Re: [lowrisc-dev] Default branch

We expect ethernet-v0.5 to be the last release on this development series, except for bug fixes. It is a lineal development of minion-v0.4. It has not been merged to master because we expect the long awaited update of Rocket to become the new master. This update is languishing in the update branch at the moment, and does not work yet. When it does all the functionality of ethernet-v0.5 will be folded in to this and become the new master. So I think ethernet-v0.5 will be the last stable release for a while, and we may well jump straight to v1.0 for the next release after that. This release will have minimal changes from the Chisel codebase and will be lacking the security enhancements. So if you just want a safe, incremental experience I would adopt the ethernet-v0.5 as your base, but if you want to dive in to the very latest code with compressed instructions, run-control debugging and programmable interrupts, then the update branch is for you, and you will be working at ISA simulation level, not operational FPGA emulation level. If you are doing something specifically with Minions, stick to the minion-v0.4 release. On 23/11/17 13:17, Olof Kindgren wrote:
