Hi, thanks for the interest. At present, there's two main projects that have OpenRISC-based system builds for FPGA boards. These builds typically contain, at least, the processor core, debug interface, memory controller and a UART. That should be enough to get you going. In terms of hardware, in addition to the board, you will need a debug cable, allowing you to control the processor and access the memory from gdb. ORPSoC, or the OpenRISC Reference Platform System-on-Chip, is one project with ready-to-go builds. It currently supports a few boards, two Xilinx and one Actel. You can find details about them at the ORPSoC page: http://opencores.org/or1k/ORPSoC MinSoC is another project on OpenCores that supports more boards, but isn't something I've used myself. It looks well maintained, though. http://opencores.org/project,minsoc Their wiki is at: http://minsoc.wikaba.com/pm:start I believe MinSoC might have better step-by-step instructions for getting going on the board. The ORPSoC maintainers, though, are usually very easy to get hold of in IRC. Hope that's useful.
