Microwatt is a FPGA-based implementation of the Power ISA. It currently only implements little-endian 64-bit mode, and does not (yet) support SMP, VMX, VSX or transactional memory. It has an optional FPU, and an optional MMU (required for running Linux, obviously) which implements a configurable radix tree but not hypervisor mode or nested radix translation. This adds a new machine type to support FPGA-based SoCs with a Microwatt core. CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION can be selected for Microwatt SOCs which don't have the FPU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
