[> Description
|
|
--------------
|
|
First release of LiteX and the ecosystem of cores!
|
|
|
|
LiteX is a Migen/MiSoC based Core/SoC builder that provides the infrastructure to easily create
|
|
Cores/SoCs (with or without CPU).
|
|
|
|
The common components of a SoC are provided directly:
|
|
- Buses and Streams (Wishbone, AXI, Avalon-ST)
|
|
- Interconnect
|
|
- Common cores (RAM, ROM, Timer, UART, etc...)
|
|
- CPU wrappers/integration
|
|
- etc...
|
|
And SoC creation capabilities can be greatly extended with the ecosystem of LiteX cores (DRAM,
|
|
PCIe, Ethernet, SATA, etc...) that can be integrated/simulated/build easily with LiteX.
|
|
|
|
It also provides build backends for open-source and vendors toolchains.
