llvm dev - Mar 2014 - [LLVMdev] Stub LLVM backend wanted

It's definitely too small project for a GSoC.

One can try to start from https://github.com/asl/llvm-openrisc
(openrisc branch inside), however, it's already 2 years old...

I dunno. I can tell you from personal experience that it requires a
surprising amount of knowledge of how LLVM backends work --- I'm sure
it's trivial once you've written one, but then, once you've written
one,
you don't need it...

That looks a lot easier to extract the logic from than the in-tree
backends; thanks. Any ideas why this never made it to the tree?

Well... this particular code was used as an example stuff for the talk
at EuroLLVM 2 years ago. You may want to ask OpenRISC folks about the
status of "proper" LLVM backend.
