Our "System on Chip" system (LiteX) allows different choices of "Soft CPU" core to be used (without changing other code). Currently the system supports lm32 and or1k architectures, with some experimental support for risc-v. In the future we are interested in adding support for more architectures like ZPU, J-Core, etc. Having different choices in soft cpu architectures means we can make different trade offs regarding performance, FPGA space used & tool chain support. > 2.

Most of the work is actually on developing the USB Audio device side which is all done on the Cypress FX2 chip rather than the FPGA. The Cypress FX2 IC is an 8051 architecture which has a hardware USB acceleration engine. Some of the work will be improving the quality of our code on the FX2 before adding more features. This FX2 work can be done using a cheap development board off ebay <http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xcypress+fx2.TRS0&_nkw=cypress+fx2&_sacat=0> . paddatrapper on the #timvideos channel on Freenode has just started looking at some of this stuff.
