Welcome to LiteX wiki!

LiteX is a FPGA design/SoC builder that can be used to build cores, create SoCs and full FPGA designs.

LiteX is based on Migen and provides specific building/debugging tools for a higher level of abstraction and compatibily with the LiteX core ecosystem.

Think of Migen as a toolbox to create FPGA designs in Python and LiteX as a SoC builder to create/develop/debug FPGA SoCs in Python.

Typical LiteX design flow:

                        +---------------+
                        |FPGA toolchains|

LiteX already supports various softcores CPUs: LM32, Mor1kx, PicoRV32, VexRiscv and is compatible with the LiteX's Cores Ecosystem:

Name Build Status Description
LiteDRAM DRAM
LiteEth Ethernet
LitePCIe PCIe
LiteSATA SATA
LiteSDCard SD card
LiteICLink Inter-Chip communication
LiteJESD204B JESD204B
LiteVideo VGA, DVI, HDMI
LiteScope Logic analyzer
