ponymorphism (Nikki) 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈Finally got my belated Christmas present from myself today 😀
- Olimex ESP32-P4 devboard. Dual-core RISC-V 400MHz MCU
- Olimex CologneChip GateMate A1 FPGA devboard
So looking forward to do stuff with them. Thanks @olimex 😍
@haitchfiveIn Chrismassy colours too! 🙂
Does it boot up a specific Linux distro? I'm curious how that works.
Enjoy!
@haitchfive
Neither of them come with any linux running on them.
While I wouldn't rule out that it may be possible to get linux to run on the ESP32-P4 (like https://hackaday.com/2021/07/21/its-linux-but-on-an-esp32/ ) it is usually used with a realtime OS like e.g. #freertos , #ZephyRTOS or #embassy
The FPGA does not contain any CPU/MCU or SoC initially, but it absolutely is possible to get linux to run on it, for example using #LiteX (for example https://github.com/litex-hub/linux-on-litex-vexriscv )
Fun stuff 😊
