Not finding any documentation for this SoC on either the beagleboard or microchip websites. I'm still waiting for a RISC-V SoC that actually has reasonable documentation instead of a pile of random linux kernel and (maybe) bootloader patches. A list of base addresses for peripherals and a block diagram does not count.

If they did that, someone might actually develop an open source toolchain and software stack for these. However, considering they charge 200x more for the software than the hardware, I can't imagine that's in their financial interest :)
Oh I don't even mean the FPGA side (of course that'd be nice), just the SoC's CPU complex and its peripherals! The only "documentation" I've found is a high level block diagram.
