+Novena base
+-----------
+This repo contains the Novena baseline developed as part of the Cryptech
+project. The design contains a new FPGA top level, now clock
+implemetation and reworked EIM interface.
+
+Internally the baseline contains an arbiter to connect cores with a
+32-bit memory like interface to the EIM. Finally there is SW to
+configure the EIM interface as well as talking to a test core in the
+FPGA.
+
+For information about the EIM clocking and the baseline HW and SW
+design, see the documentation.
+
+The baseline has been written by Pavel Shatov.
