Towards General Purpose Reconfigurable Computing on Novena: FPGAs for Everybody with Novena

Presented at 31C3 (2014), Dec. 27, 2014, 8:30 p.m. (60 minutes).

The Novena open source laptop contains a FPGA, but free software support for FPGAs is lacking and requires root access to the hardware.

Our work is on providing a framework and a demonstration application for general purpose accelerator cores for Novena's FPGA.

Presenters:

• Andy Isaacson
  Storage and networking software engineer. Cofounder of Noisebridge, dabbles in hardware.
