Description

Support Powerpc64le processors like Microwatt and Chiselwatt thru the standard powerpc64le GCC toolchain.

The binaries can be built using standard GCC toolchain like the one from Bootlin bleeding-edge for powerpc64le-power8.

An example project is on https://github.com/carlosedp/PlatformIO-Renode-Demos/tree/master/Native-ppc64le even with Renode simulation. In this sample I build using a Docker container with Bootlin toolchain.
