+         Symbiotic EDA: \$600k for PHY, CERN developed a Controller\\
+         http://libre-riscv.org/shakti/m\_class/DDR/
+   \item HyperRAM (JEDEC xSPI): lower risk than DDR3/4\\
+          http://libre-riscv.org/shakti/m\_class/HyperRAM/
+   \item RGMII: several available (saves \$50k)\\
+          http://libre-riscv.org/shakti/m\_class/RGMII/
+   \item UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, SD/MMC: all libre (except eMMC).
+   \item Shakti Group has FlexBus, QuadSPI, SRAM, many more.
