BOOM Open Source RISC-V Core Runs on Amazon EC2 F1 Instances

I wish it, or a cut down version, would run on a cheaper FPGA (like the Zynq or Zedboard, ~250$). Running on the EC2 F1 instance is not really an option for students given that it costs about ~10$ per day.

It's a comparatively big, application-class CPU. You're asking too much. Those cheaper FPGAs are cheaper because they're smaller, and BOOM won't fit.

Not entirely unrealistic. Removing the FPU and reducing the width should get it to fit.

But then it would not be an application class processor.

Try j-Core instead: http://j-core.org

They can do non-MMU SMT which is kinda cool too.

lowrisc will run linux on a $265 fpga board
