| title: "Introduction to OpenTitan" |
| --- |
| |
| [OpenTitan](https://opentitan.org) is an open source silicon Root of Trust (RoT) project. |
| OpenTitan will make the silicon RoT design and implementation more transparent, trustworthy, and secure for enterprises, platform providers, and chip manufacturers. |
| OpenTitan is administered by lowRISC CIC as a collaborative [project]({{< relref "doc/project" >}}) to produce high quality, open IP for instantiation as a full-featured product. |
| This repository exists to enable collaboration across partners participating in the OpenTitan project. |
| |
| To get started using or contributing to the OpenTitan codebase, see the |
| [list of user guides]({{< relref "doc/ug" >}}). |
| For details on coding styles or how to use our project-specific tooling, see the |
| [reference manuals]({{< relref "doc/rm" >}}). |
| [This page]({{< relref "hw" >}}) |
| contains technical documentation on the SoC, the Ibex processor core, and the individual IP blocks. |
| For questions about how the project is organized, see the [project]({{< relref "doc/project" >}}) landing spot for more information. |

| ## Repository Structure |
| |
| The underlying |
| [repo](http://www.github.com/lowrisc/opentitan) |
| is set up as a monolithic repository to contain RTL, helper scripts, technical documentation, and other software necessary to produce our hardware designs. |
