PicoRV32 (https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32) and ORCA (https://github.com/VectorBlox/orca) are two RISC-V implementations that nicely fit in ~2000 iCE40 LUTs. UCB-BAR V-Scale (https://github.com/ucb-bar/vscale) fits in ~4000 iCE40 LUTs.

It's great to see how RISC-V has stimulated a lot of activity in open source CPU design. There are a few implementations now: * Rocket https://github.com/ucb-bar/rocket-chip * lowRISC ASIC http://www.lowrisc.org/ * PicoRV32 https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32 * BOOM (derived from Rocket) https://github.com/ucb-bar/riscv-boom * SODOR https://github.com/ucb-bar/riscv-sodor * VSCALE https://github.com/ucb-bar/vscale Anyone know of any more?
