Hello everyone,
The GSOC deadline is over and I would not be able to submit a propsal,
however I would still like to contribute this independent of GSOC as I see
a strong opportunity to learn something valuable.
I went through the entire source code, but I was unable to find any
reference to Xilinx blocks in the source code. Is it generated from the
Chisel source code? Please provide pointers
Yours sincerely,
Nishant

Hi Nishant. First of all, we'd warmly welcome contributions from you -
I'll let Wei say more about the current source code organisation. I
will just point out that there are actually 2 hours left to submit a
proposal for GSoC.
Best,
Alex

Hi Nishant,
the Xilinx blocks are generated automatically:

Alex and Stefan,
Thanks a lot. Can you tell me what is the purpose of socip folder in the
source code? It doesn't make sense to me why you would include that UART
folder when you are already using Xilinx's IP for the UART controller
Sincerely,
Nishant

It is essentially a git submodule, meaning it is another git
repository linked in. I think the UART was used in some other branch
or so.
