Intro

This Linux repository is presented here so that for those lucky enough to experiment with the PowerEN processor are able to run a Linux on it. It contains excellent sample driver code that allows for developing user level code to exploit the many processing features of the PowerEN Processor.

Getting Started

We have provided a default chroma_defconfig that should be enough to get you started.

PowerEN

The IBM PowerEN processor (AKA IBM Wire Speed Processor) is an experimental processor that represents a generic processor architecture in which processing cores, hardware accelerators, and I/O functions are closely coupled in a system on a chip.

Enjoy!
