|  |  | 
|  | [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. | 
|  |  | 
|  | ## Getting Started | 
|  |  | 
|  | To get started with OpenTitan, see the [Getting Started]({{< relref "doc/getting_started" >}}) page. | 
|  | For additional resources when working with OpenTitan, 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" >}}). | 
|  | Lastly, the [Hardware Dashboard 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. |
