Description

I am trying to make an SoC by integrating our custom accelerator into the [Ibex Simple System](https://github.com/lowRISC/ibex/tree/master/examples/simple_system). Our accelerator has 4 AXI manager interfaces and 1 AXI-Lite subordinate interface for configuration.

My current plan is to write a converter/adapter to convert from AXI Manager to ibex Host protocol, and Ibex device to the AXI Lite subordinate protocol.

I'd like to know if there are open-source IPs that already do this.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04
EDA tool: Vivado 2024
Version of ibex: main branch (master)

Research direction

Start with examples/simple_system on the Ibex main branch and review the AXI manager, AXI-Lite subordinate, Ibex Host, and Ibex device interfaces described in the issue. The request is currently exploratory: done would require identifying a suitable open-source adapter or defining the scope of a new converter, but no specific implementation target or test is named.
