Building Open Hardware with Open Software

Explore the intersection of open hardware and open software in this 49-minute conference talk. Delve into FPGA use cases, hardware considerations, and the integration of Linux on LiteX Rocket. Learn about the Rocket CPU, system-on-chip integration, and LiteX internals. Discover how Yocto and continuous integration fit into the development process. Address open issues, pre-generated CPU cores, and result comparability. Examine alternatives to LiteX and use cases for Linux on RISC-V in FPGA. Gain insights into the future of open hardware development and the next steps in this evolving field.
