I hope it is ok that I announce it here. Over the last 1,5 years I worked on a RISC-V implementation in VHDL. It is a “MCU” class core, so no hope to run Linux on it.

There is a turnkey implementation working on Diligent Arty. Please check out [https://bonfirecpu.eu](https://bonfirecpu.eu)

You’re welcome to announce it here, but you might get more audience on forums such as [http://reddit.com/r/riscv](http://reddit.com/r/riscv)

Drop-in replacement for MicroBlaze sounds great for a lot of uses.
