Abstract

Muntjac is an open-source collection of components which can be used to build a multicore, Linux-capable system-on-chip. This includes a 64-bit RISC-V core, a cache subsystem, and TileLink interconnect allowing cache-coherent multicore configurations. Each component is easy to understand, verify, and extend, with most being configurable enough to be useful across a wide range of applications.
