OpenRISC is an open source hardware RISC CPU design by OpenCores released under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Open source is a development methodology which offers practical accessibility to a product's source (goods and knowledge Open source hardware refers to computer and electronic hardware that is designed in the same fashion as free and open-source Software. OpenCores is a loose community of people who are interested in developing Digital Open source hardware through Electronic design automation, with a similar The GNU Lesser General Public License (formerly the GNU Library General Public License) or LGPL is a Free software license published by the Free Software The OpenCores team implemented the design in the verilog hardware description language. In the Semiconductor and electronic design industry Verilog is a Hardware description language (HDL used to model electronic systems. In Electronics, a hardware description language or HDL is any language from a class of Computer languages and/or Programming languages for formal Flextronics International and Jennic Ltd. manufactured the OpenRISC as part of an ASIC. Others implemented OpenRISC in a FPGA. FPGAs should not be confused with the Flip-chip pin grid array, a form of integrated circuit packaging
The OpenCores team also ported the GNU toolchain to OpenRISC to support development in several languages. The GNU toolchain is a blanket term for a collection of Programming tools produced by the GNU Project. Linux and µClinux have been ported to the processor. Linux (commonly pronounced ˈlɪnəks
