6 First release of LiteX and the ecosystem of cores!
7
8 LiteX is a Migen/MiSoC based Core/SoC builder that provides the infrastructure to easily create
9 Cores/SoCs (with or without CPU).
10
11 The common components of a SoC are provided directly:
12 - Buses and Streams (Wishbone, AXI, Avalon-ST)
13 - Interconnect
14 - Common cores (RAM, ROM, Timer, UART, etc...)
15 - CPU wrappers/integration
16 - etc...
17 And SoC creation capabilities can be greatly extended with the ecosystem of LiteX cores (DRAM,
18 PCIe, Ethernet, SATA, etc...) that can be integrated/simulated/build easily with LiteX.
19
20 It also provides build backends for open-source and vendors toolchains.
