+## Introduction ##
+
+This repo contains the Novena FPGA baseline developed as part of the
+Cryptech project. The design contains a new FPGA top level, now clock
+implementation and reworked EIM interface.
+
+The main purpose of the baseline is to allow us to run the Cryptech
+cores and FPGA system with the general system clock and then interface
+to the EIM with the EIM burst clock.
+
+
+## Technical details ##
+
+The design tries to be a clean top that is easy for others to work on
+and adapt to their needs. The top is stripped from ports not needed for
+the baseline. All clock and reset implementation is placed in a separate
+module. The EIM interface is in a separate module and then the rest of
+the system is in a third module.
Internally the baseline contains an arbiter to connect cores with a
32-bit memory like interface to the EIM. Finally there is SW to
