Description
Kirsch is an FPGA-based computer designed for running timeless applications on Linux.
Note: There is currently no USB DFU bootloader for Kirsch so you will need a JTAG programmer, such as Werkzeug in order to update the gateware until a DFU bootloader is developed. Additionally, while we expect it will be possible in the future, our Linux-capable gateware for Artix-7 isn’t currently built with a fully open-source toolchain.
