Welcome to Linux-on-ECO32!
This little project offers the possibility to run Linux on the
ECO32 system, which is a system-on-chip (written in synthesizable
Verilog), together with a simulator, so that one can experiment
without the need to have an FPGA board available. Linux is placed
onto a disk partition of a simulated disk and can be bootstrapped
from there.
NOTE 1: The Linux system itself (kernel and userland programs) is
merely used by this project. The system has been ported, built and
tested by Stefan Kristiansson in this project:
http://github.com/skristiansson/eco32-linux
There's no need to download this project; all necessary binaries
are included here.
NOTE 2: It is absolutely necessary to first download and build
the ECO32 project, which is also available here on GitHub:
http://github.com/hgeisse/eco32
NOTE 3: After building ECO32 you can build Linux-on-ECO32. In
order to utilize the various tools from the ECO32 project, you
will be asked to supply a path to the "build" directory of the
ECO32 project. The path depends on your local installation, but
usually ends in .../eco32/build.
NOTE 4: After building Linux-on-ECO32, go back to the ECO32
tree. In .../eco32/build/run you can build a disk and run the
simulator as usual (make run-sim-dsk or make run-sim-sdc). The
disk or SD card image will be populated with a Linux partition.
If you have any questions (or are eager to contribute to this
project), don't hesitate to contact the ECO32 team by email to

Enjoy!
