Add example resource usage on Artix 7
It would be really good to include some information in the README around the resource usage of microwatt.
I would recommend the following stats;
- [ ] LUT + FF usage
- [ ] Highest fmax possible
- [ ] DMIPS/Mhz
- [ ] Coremark/Mhz
It would also be good to include the information for multiple FPGAs like;
- [ ] Xilinx Artix 7 using Vivado
- [ ] Lattice ECP5 using Diamond
It would make it easy to quickly compare it against various other soft processors like Microblaze from Xilinx.
It might also be worth looking at Everyone’s a Critic: A Tool for Exploring RISC-V Projects Paper from FPL to see some ways to benchmark. There is also the awesome An inventory of soft processor cores but it is a little out of date.
How big would be the effort to run microwatt on a different fpga? I have a Microsemi Polarfire and would love to try this on it. Thanks.
