==== System Configuration Information Memory (SYSINFO)

[cols="<3,<3,<4"]
[frame="topbot",grid="none"]
|=======================
| Hardware source file(s): | neorv32_sysinfo.vhd | 
| Software driver file(s): | neorv32.h |
| Top entity port:         | none | 
| Configuration generics:  | * | most of the top's configuration generics
| CPU interrupts:          | none | 
|=======================

**Theory of Operation**

The SYSINFO allows the application software to determine the setting of most of the processor's top entity
generics that are related to processor/SoC configuration. All registers of this unit are read-only.

This device is always implemented – regardless of the actual hardware configuration. The bootloader as well
as the NEORV32 software runtime environment require information from this device (like memory layout
and default clock speed) for correct operation.
