Digital devices (or commonly "chips") are the basic building blocks of electronic systems. Such devices are for application-specific devices like a USB controller. But also programmable "System-on-Chip" are found in embedded systems. Both tastes of a chip are composed of basic building blocks, so called IP (Intellectual Property) cores. A "LibreCore" is such an IP core that is created and distributed in the open source spirit. And LibreCores.org is like a good neighborhood pub, a place to meet the community and —most importantly— find such cores.
We are heavily working on making LibreCores.org the community hub where you can attract the attention of like-minded developers to your LibreCore or find a fitting core for your project. While we are working on it, you are maybe working on a LibreCore or about to start one. To give you a quick start we have assembled some information about project handling and licensing:
What's going on in the digital hardware design community? Planet Librecores collects blog posts from different community members. Subscribe to it in your feed reader, or read it online.
LibreCores is a true community project. All development is done in the open, and we're always open to new contributors! If you have only a couple of minutes to spare, or a full week, there's something for you to do.
