The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How many more years until we have a completely open source RISC-V SOC?
Most of them might still be missing on the ASIC side, but already exist to some extent on the FPGA side. Litex (https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/) is adding support for the USB host (ohci-compatible) developed for Saxon (https://github.com/SpinalHDL/SaxonSoc), in addition to the DRAM, Ethernet (MII, GMII, some RGMII), micro-sd, UART, HDMI framebuffer, ... peripherals that are already supported.

Need help to build a RISC-V Processor on Artix-7 FPGA: Final Year Engineering Project Guide
With LiteX you can synthesize a VexRiscV processor. You can run Linux on it. The toolchain is pretty easy to use, as long as you use Xilinx Vivado to compile to gateware.

Sunset TCL scripts ?
LiteX is a great example of a Python-first flow. However, they have chosen not to subordinate the scripting environment to a GUI toolchain - EDA vendors are unlikely to choose the same trade.

How Much Would It Cost For A Truly Open Source RISC-V SOC?
If you use LiteX to generate a VexRiscV system-on-a-chip, you can include an open source DDR DRAM PHY. This works on Xilinx Spartan-6, Spartan7Artix7/Kintex7/Virtex7 FPGAs, and Lattice ECP5 FPGAs. DDR/LPDDR/DDR2/DDR3 depending on the FPGA.

Using FPGAs for computations as a beginner
I am interested in trying out FPGAs for the purpose of running specific calculations more efficiently. Since the calculations themselves are quite complex, I would need to be able to program in a relatively high-level language. I've seen that designing SoC in Python is possible, for example with Litex (https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex) or Amaranth (https://github.com/amaranth-lang/). I don't want to spend hundreds of hours learning about FPGAs, but I'm prepared to take on a challenge.
