Re: [openrisc] orp_soc compilation problem
Paul,
if you plan to use icarus verilog simulator, I tried it a few months ago and
it didn't simulate orp_soc regression simulations the same as with Cadence
NCsim or Mentor Modelsim. I have reported all the issues I had to icarus
developers, but I never got any feedback from them. Consider you had been
warned...
regards,
Damjan
