hi,
after few years i want to restart FPGA development once again - initially f= or personel fun, but later may move in to commercial development too. At th= e moment i am trying to find a suitable processor core for the work. These = are my requirements:
- It must have a good documentation + tools + community support
- It should be mature and future proof
- Better if it is Free, how ever commercial cores are OK too provided that= i have the full documentation + tool set for free to get started.
Few years back i played a little with openrisc. This time too i initially w= anted to go with it. However documentation for openrisc seems to be extreme= ly low and incomplete. Im not sure the status of tools and support, but see= ms like they are lacking as well. I'd like to get some advice from expert e= ngineers about this before going forward. Also like to know about better al= ternatives as well.
thank you
