Hello world & Ledblink

We have now managed to build ORPSoC from scratch and boot it on the ATLYS dev board.
We have also managed to write a helloworld application as well as built a small RTL module that blinks a LED. Next up is connection the LED to the rest of the system via a Wishbone bus  so we can blink it with with a Linux application.

We are also working on some documentation on how to build ORPSoC with Linux and run it on the ATLYS board.

Thesis work!

I will dedicate this space for our ( Anton Fosselius & Per Lenanders) thesis work. We will in the coming 20 weeks build an open source graphics accelerator for the OpenRISC CPU.

Our current setup:

Two Asus UL30VT with external monitors, a ATLYS Spartan-6 design platform driving a HD-Ready 32" LCD TV.
