OpenSPARC T1 release 1.6 now supports:

• T1 core supports single- and four-thread options on FPGAs
• Reference designs boot OpenSolaris on single- or four-thread mode
• Xilinx Virtex-5 technology support
• Networking (ftp, telnet) support

These new features are designed to enable a user to build real systems using the OpenSPARC T1 core. For further details on Xilinx, please refer to the Xilinx University program.

Here is a video demonstrating OpenSPARC T1 runing on the Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA board.

This presentation (updated for release 1.6 on July 3, 2008) is a Tutorial on using OpenSPARC T1 in an FPGA, “OpenSPARC T1 FPGA Implementation”

Join the OpenSPARC FPGA project
The FPGA Project intent is to allow FPGA implementation experts to take what was provided with the latest OpenSPARC T1 release and to further develop the FPGA implementation including work to optimize area and timing of this design and contribute their changes back to this project and to shared with the community.  Contribute the project or just tell us what you have done.
