  33         --------------
  34         First release of LiteX and the ecosystem of cores!
  35
  36         LiteX is a Migen/MiSoC based Core/SoC builder that provides the infrastructure to easily create
  37         Cores/SoCs (with or without CPU).
  38
  39         The common components of a SoC are provided directly:
  40         - Buses and Streams (Wishbone, AXI, Avalon-ST)
  41         - Interconnect
  42         - Common cores (RAM, ROM, Timer, UART, etc...)
  43         - CPU wrappers/integration
  44         - etc...
  45         And SoC creation capabilities can be greatly extended with the ecosystem of LiteX cores (DRAM,
  46         PCIe, Ethernet, SATA, etc...) that can be integrated/simulated/build easily with LiteX.
  47
  48         It also provides build backends for open-source and vendors toolchains.
