KnockoutKraken | This is the KnockoutKraken repository

KnockoutKraken is a C++ library. KnockoutKraken has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

KnockoutKraken brings FPGA-accelerated simulation to the QFlex family. KnockoutKraken is composed of three main components: a modified version of QEMU, an instrumented ARM softcore (ARMFlex), and a driver that handles the communication between QEMU and ARMFlex. QEMU is written in C and can be developed on most Linux machines. ARMFlex is written in Chisel, and while basic testing can be done on most Linux machines, fully simulating and synthesizing the softcore requires an extensive toolchain. As such, the easiest way to simulate and synthesize KnockoutKraken is by using the Amazon FPGA Developer AMI. This image has all the software necessary to synthesize and simulate a bitstream for an AWS F1 node. You can also develop on-premise. Please look here for a discussion on how to develop for AWS F1 nodes on-premise. In the following sections, we will describe how to simulate, synthesize, and run KnockoutKraken.
