Wei, I try to follow statements from the lowRISC guys closely, but I’m still puzzled: What is the demo installation board for your next release, if you want to use all the beautiful features (tagged, minions, debug), that come with it ? I think Alex mentioned the vc707 at the 5th WS, but please confirm. Thanks a lot, Tobias PS: Looking forward to your release ... > Wei Song <ws327(a)cam.ac.uk&gt; hat am 8.
