The Free-IP project is an effort to make quality IP available to anyone. What is IP? IP is short for Intellectual Property. More specifically, it is a block of logic that can be used in making ASIC's and FPGA's. Examples of IP Cores are, UART's, CPU's, Ethernet Controllers, PCI Interfaces, etc. In the past, quality cores of this nature could cost anywhere from US 5,000 to more than US 350,000. This is way too high for the average company or individual to even contemplate using-- Hence, the Free-IP project.
Update
The Free-CORDIC core is now available. The CORDIC algorithm is a time and space efficient algorithm mainly used for calculate the Sine and Cosine of a given angle. It can also be used for computing log, exponent and square root. Common usage are sine and cosine generation, vector magnitude, polar-Cartesian conversions, and vector rotation.
