They are are for example directly reused by the [Linux-on-LiteX-VexRiscv](https://github.com/litex-hub/linux-on-litex-vexriscv) project that is just using a specific configuration (Linux-capable CPU, additional peripherals). Basing your design on provided targets allow to to reduce code duplication between very various projects. + +First make to install LiteX correctly by following the [installation guide](https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/wiki/Installation). + +Each target provides a default configuration with a CPU, ROM, SRAM, UART, DRAM (if available), Ethernet (if available), etc... that can be simply built and loaded to the FPGA with: + + $ ./target.py --build --load + +You can then open a terminal on the main UART of the board and interact with the LiteX BIOS: + +

+ +But this is just the starting point to create your own hardware! You can then: + +- Change the CPU: add `--cpu-type=lm32, microwatt, serv, rocket, etc... ` +- Change the Bus standard: add `--bus-standard=wishbone, axi-lite` +- Enable components: add `--with-ethernet --with-etherbone --with-sdcard etc...` +- Load application code to the CPU from UART/Ethernet/SDCard, etc...: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/wiki/Load-Application-Code-To-CPU +- Create a bridge with your computer to easily [access the main bus of your SoC](https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/wiki/Use-Host-Bridge-to-control-debug-a-SoC) +- Add a Logic Analyzer to your SoC to easily [observe/debug your design](https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/wiki/Use-LiteScope-To-Debug-A-SoC) +- Simulate your SoC and interact with it at decent speed with [LiteX Sim](https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/master/litex/tools/litex_sim.py)/Verilator. +- Integrate external cores/CPU in your design. +- etc... + +Please use `./target.py --help` to see the pre-built various possibilities. + +Hoping you will find this useful and enjoy it, please contribute back if you make improvements that could be useful to others or find issues! + +**A question or want to get in touch?
