Interesting. But the Altera board it runs on costs $2,995. Out of my league, unfortunately. At least privately. And professionally, I doubt that I can talk my boss into buying one.

You don't need the FPGA board. I work on CHERI and have only ever used qemu. The FPGA is mostly useful for benchmarks to compare with MIPS.
