Good question! The design of LiteScope heavily inspired Manta, and Manta's Ethernet functionality comes from the LiteX Ethernet core. That said, I spun Manta out into a separate project for a few reasons: - LiteX is written in nMigen, which has now spun off into Amaranth, and I wanted to use a language that's undergoing more active development. - I wanted to provide better support for non-SoC workflows. LiteScope is awesome when you're already using LiteX for your design, but it's a pretty steep barrier to entry if you're just trying to debug a class project real quick. - I wanted to provide a _lot_ of documentation! The original audience for the docs was undergraduate students that are new to the field and don't have a lot of time, so I wanted getting started to be as easy as possible. I know the Amaranth project is working on it's own SoC tool, and I'll be curious to see how Manta evolves as the effort behind that ramps up.
