You can try out Microwatt/Micropython without hardware by using the ghdl simulator. If you want to build directly for a hardware target board, see below.

- Build micropython. If you aren't building on a ppc64le box you
will need a cross compiler. If it isn't available on your distro
grab the powerpc64le-power8 toolchain from https://toolchains.bootlin.com

- Build using FuseSoC. For hello world (Replace nexys_video with your FPGA board such as --target=arty_a7-100):

```
fusesoc run --target=nexys_video microwatt --memory_size=8192 --ram_init_file=/path/to/microwatt/fpga/hello_world.hex
```
You should then be able to see output via the serial port of the board (/dev/ttyUSB1, 115200 for example assuming standard clock speeds). There is a know bug where initial output may not be sent - try the reset (not programming button on your board if you don't see anything.
