   6 ## Codebase Structure
   7
   8 The SOC is partitioned into four repositories. The subrepositories are
   9 intended as general purpose standalone projects useful outside of LibreSOC. For example,
  10 the IEE754 FPU repository is a general purpose IEEE754 toolkit for the
  11 construction of FSMs and arbitrary length pipelines.

  13 | Git Repo | Online docs   | Description   | Pypi    |
  14 |----------|---------------|---------------|--------
  15 | [SOC](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=soc.git;a=tree) | [Libre-SOC](https://docs.libre-soc.org/soc/) | Main OpenPOWER Hybrid CPU-GPU | TBD |
  16 | [FPU](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=ieee754fpu.git;a=tree) | [ieee754fpu](https://docs.libre-soc.org/ieee754fpu/) | Equivalent to hardfloat-3 | [libresoc-ieee754fpu](https://pypi.org/project/libresoc-ieee754fpu) |
  17 | [nmutil](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=nmutil.git;a=tree) | [nmutil](https://docs.libre-soc.org/nmutil/) | Equivalent to Chisel3.util | [libresoc-nmutil](https://pypi.org/project/libresoc-nmutil) |
  18 | [OpenPOWER ISA](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=nmutil.git;a=tree) | [OpenPOWER ISA](https://docs.libre-soc.org/openpower-isa/) | Simulator, ISA spec compiler, co-simulation infrastructure |  [libresoc-openpower-isa](https://pypi.org/project/libresoc-openpower-isa/)  |

  23 ## Installing the Codebase
  24
  25 Installation is much easier when using the
  26 [install scripts](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=dev-env-setup.git;a=blob;f=hdl-dev-repos;hb=HEAD).
  27 A separate script also helps install
  28 [dependencies](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=dev-env-setup.git;a=blob;f=install-hdl-apt-reqs;hb=HEAD)
  29 and a third can be used to set up a
  30 [debootstrap chroot](
  31 https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=dev-env-setup.git;a=blob;f=mk-deb-chroot;hb=HEAD).
  32 The chroot is useful to ensure stability and repeatable builds: no
  33 errors or issues introduced by libraries being wrong versions.
  34 Also relevant is the [gdb gcc build](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=dev-env-setup.git;a=blob;f=ppc64-gdb-gcc;hb=HEAD).
  35
  36 For a simple set of commands to follow, see [[HDL_workflow/devscripts]]. If
  37 you prefer to do a manual install and explicitly install dependencies
  38 yourself, in order to verify them, see [[HDL_workflow]]
