[> 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.
