Microwatt is an open-source POWER CPU implementation which can run on cheap FPGAs, bringing new level of accessibility to POWER. In the last year, we have added to Microwatt features such as a memory management unit, privilege modes, interrupts, a floating-point unit, an interrupt controller and a level-2 cache, so that now it can boot Linux. This presentation will outline these new additions to Microwatt and talk about some interesting applications for Microwatt.
