I don't think this discussion belongs in the thread about the atomic operations,
so I've changed the subject.

mor1kx has a debug port, it's not specifically tied to adbg, but
that's likely what will be used.
What problem did you experience and could you provide a testcase where it fails.
What are the problems with verilator and adbg?

LM32 is a nice implementation and it's smaller than mor1kx, apart from
that they are pretty much comparable in the 'baremetal' niche.
mor1kx has some 'cool' features (and more coming) that LM32 lacks, but
you might not need or be interested in them.
What speaks in OpenRISC favor is IMO a stronger eco-system around it.
