Hello everyone!
The Computer Engineering Group at Paderborn University proudly announces the
release of ReconOS version 4. Over the last months and weeks we have worked
hard to update ReconOS and extend its capabilities. The new main features include:
* Vivado Support: Additionally to the Xilinx ISE and EDK we do now support
Xilinx Vivado. This allows for an easier use of High-Level-Synthesis (HLS)
and usage of the latest Xilinx FPGA Platforms. All you have to do is to
change a single configuration variable in your build.cfg: From "TargetXil
= ise,14.7" to "TargetXil = vivado,2017.1" We currently support Vivado
2016.2 and 2017.1.
* Dynamic Clock Switching: It is now possible to put your hardware threads
into individual and highly flexible clock domains. The clock frequency can
now be higher or lower than the clock of the base system and can be even
changed at run-time in mid-operation. Please see the sort_demo for an
example of that feature.
* Install Skript: Setting up your ReconOS development environment got as
easy as executing install.sh [1]. No more lengthy manual setups. Tested
currently on Ubuntu, but it is designed to work under any Linux distribution .
* [Soon] Updated Precompiled SD-Card Image: To get directly started we
updated the ready to run SD-Card Image which you can immediatly use with
the ZedBoard.
You can get the newest release either from the official GitHub repository [2]
or use the install.sh shell skript[1]. Please help us with improving ReconOS
by sending your bug reports and feature request via GitHub[3].
I'd like to thank Christoph Rüthing and Georg Thombansen for their help in
developing and testing Reconos v4.
Happy coding and kind regards
Sebastian Meisner
