lowrisc-chip and rocket-chip

Hi,

I am a hw developer and relatively new to open source processors.

Recently I started studying https://github.com/freechipsproject/rocket-chip to get access to open source RISC-V processor. My aim is to understand the core so that I can customize and use it as a part of product idea we have.

As it would be expected, right now I am not very conversant with how everything is organized in the rocket-chip soc and I am relying on any little information I get from web-pages, google group and git-hub Issues page.

I have a general query for you guys.
What are the 'same' and 'different' things between lowrisc-chip and rocket-chip?
Does lowrisc chip in general has more documentation and easier to get hold of?

Thanks
Chinmaya

Start by reviewing the lowRISC root repository and the linked rocket-chip repository to understand their organization and stated purposes. Compare the documented similarities, differences, and available learning material, then define what a useful newcomer-facing comparison would need to cover.
