[openrisc] OR1000 16 bit instruction set

[Jeff Hanoch <jeff@lowrance.com>]

Hi all,

What is the status of the 16 bit instruction set or OR1K processors?  Is
this no longer supported, or is this just on the back-burner until the
OR1200 is finished?

I would like to consider using the OR1K processors in actual ASICs at my
company, but we really need a smaller, more compact opcode than the 32
bit OR1200.  The application would most likely be low-power, low-cost,
hand held products.  Our products have limited FLASH memory, due to
cost, so the 16 bit instruction width would work much better for us.  We
currently use the ARM7TDMI.

Jeff
