Anything that is actually useful here should just go upstream? #1

I'm not sure this repository makes all that much sense?

Anything here which is generically useful (rather than only useful in LiteX-BuildEnv) should probably be sent upstream into LiteX or related modules?

I believe there are better version of all these modules upstream?

These modules should be cleaned up and probably sent upstream;

These are obsolete and should probably be deleted;

These two files are specific to the Opsis board at the moment. Maybe they should be in something like liteopsis?

I made this repository because I'm using lxbuildenv now for Fomu, because it works better on Windows and should enable us to move to Raspberry Pi as well once I get there. I discovered some of these modules, particularly up5kspram.py, were in use by some projects from litex-buildenv, and so this repository was made.

Where is "upstream" in this case? Should these go into litex?

Yes, litex is upstream in this case.

I /think/ most of the modules are actually upstream in better versions already? @enjoy-digital or @cr1901 might know?
