Cheers.!! > regards, Hi Mahesh, many many thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in contributing. The GSoC ideas list obviously gives a sampling of possible projects, but lowRISC is a huge project so there's no shortage of potential topics. Looking at our documentation <http://www.lowrisc.org/docs/> should give you a good idea of what we have now - we're very close to releasing the 0.4 point release which will update that documentation and add tag cache optimisations, a way of enforcing rules on tags, and an initial integration of minion cores. It partly depends what size project you're looking for. We've recently thought about experimenting with the minion concept for higher speed protocols (e.g. Ethernet), and there's obviously a huge amount of work there in terms of determining what custom accelerators or instruction set extensions might be necessary to support that sort of use case. Given your interest in software defined networking, perhaps you have ideas in this area? It all depends of course if you have other goals in contributing, e.g. some people are specifically looking to branch out into an area they're less familiar with. I'd be happy to set up a skype/hangout to discuss potential ways of contributing further, if you think that would be helpful. Thanks again! Alex

Hi Jonathan, Thank you for your response. I am planning to contribute to the LowRISC project in long term. I am going through some of your resources like [1] and I would like to discuss and support the project. As Alex suggested, minion concept for high performance applications seems to be a good starting point, since it involve many things. I am working on some fundamentals in RISC-V and LowRISC. Can you please tell me, what are the relevant repos for me to be cloned to start this (I have seen lots of repos there including minions subsystem). I am going through the tutorials [2], but I think its good for me to learn them from the experts. Therefore, I am willing to have a meeting and discuss about the further work. Specially, I like the research kind of work. Thank you. regards, Mahesh.

A unique aspect of our work is that all our repositories are open source, whether or not they are ready for release.

Hi Jonathan, Thank you very much. I am going through them. Is that the only board currently support minions? I will let you know the progress. I have discussed with Alex as well.

The overall repository structure and instructions will only change where necessary, and the above hardware platform will still be used. If you only have access to a Linux PC, you can still simulate the behaviour and learn according to the above instructions.

Hi Jonathan, Thank you. BTW, I have a one Zed board with me. so I am planning to continue with it, but it take some time to receive additional component. Hope Zed board will work fine. Will try another option later. I went through couple of your documentation and I forked the project. Hope to run some testing and debugging in next couple of days. Are there any other reading materials for minions? Cheers. regards, Mahesh.

When you are more experienced you can attempt the advanced task of porting our design or parts of it to a newer and potentially more economical board. This has already been done for the Zedboard and our debug-v0.3 release. You can read about it here: https://github.com/furkanturan/lowrisc-zed <https://github.com/furkanturan/lowrisc-zed> Remember this is not an easy task. You need to consider the FPGA size and manufacturer, the data sheets for the peripherals, clocking, constraints, testing, simulation, synthesis, and software changes, as well documenting what you have done and merging with other ports in a compatible manner (not to mention discovering and correcting the information you are given if necessary).

Hi Jonathan, What is the recommended operating system for the LowRISC? I have both Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. I am currently using 16.04. Seems to be I have some issues.Thank you. regards, Mahesh. On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 2:39 PM, Dr Jonathan Kimmitt <jrrk2(a)cam.ac.uk <mailto:jrrk2@cam.ac.uk>> wrote: Dear Mahesh, The zed-board support was contributed by a third-party. I do not have one to try at the moment. My expectation is that the FPGA portion of the zed-board design is smaller, bearing in mind the ARM portion, so I do not know if the Minion core from our new release would fit in addition to the Rocket. The new release documentation including Minions is in review and due to be released real soon now. In any case the ARM SD-card is not accessible from the SD fabric so you need to provide a separate one. Probably these are the extra components you referred to.
