Linux Compatibility #203

Closed SOUMYADIPSAHA10 closed 3 years ago

SOUMYADIPSAHA10 commented 3 years ago

Hello, Can this core be able to run Linux on it?

umarcor commented 3 years ago

See https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/pull/194#issuecomment-961579351.

As discussed in #194 the processor cannot run Linux out of the box (at least not without virtualization) because the CPU lacks a memory management unit and support for supervisor operation mode. However, you can run embedded real-time operating system like FreeRTOS or Zephyr OS.

@SOUMYADIPSAHA10 I think this can be closed, right?
