    Systèmes Libres seems to be no more (or never was beside a website) and three months ago turned into ChipEleven:

    https://chipeleven.com
    https://soc.chipeleven.com
    https://wiki.chipeleven.com
    https://gitlab.com/chipeleven/soc
    https://demoday.create-x.gatech.edu/company/chipeleven/
    https://reformventures.com/portfolio
    https://www.outlanderlabs.com/portfolio
    https://www.pitchbook.com/profiles/company/458176-60
    https://vimeo.com/488597617

    Features acc. to sources:
    - market-ready by spring 2022
    - 3 watts power budget
    - PythonWatt quad-core: pipelined, 8-stage, SMP, 1.5 GHz
    - Mali GPU, 1080p60 video
    - DDR4, PCIe, IPMI, LPC, USB2, GbE

    As I understand it, PythonWatt is likely derived/forked from Libre-SOC's core (at least two ChipEleven contributors are former Libre-SOC contributors), and the ChipEleven SoC has somewhat different design goals than Libre-SOC, like dedicated vector unit (VSX?) and third-party GPU vs. hybrid CPU+VPU+GPU.

    Comments from the Libre-SOC project lead:

    "michael etc. do not full comprehend copyright law and took jointly-owned copyrighted material and are slapping an alternative license on it without permission [...]
    a quick look shows that michael *might* have started from scratch, including on the power decoder
    "

    "the founder of chipeleven betraying the trust we placed in them [...] put us behind by at least a year."
