Which cpu architecture to use in BBL building when full rocket (with fp) is used? #25

I am building the full cpu variant as I have the Kintex 7 device which can hold it, but I do not know which cpu architecture to specify when building BBL. Please advise.

You can use the same BBL parameters specified for the "linux" variants. You get fpu emulation linked in, but if Linux never traps into M mode due to a floating-point opcode, it doesn't matter.

Makes sense. Thanks!
