What is a LiveCD ?

From ​Wikipedia

A live CD or live DVD is a CD or DVD containing a bootable computer operating system. Live CDs are unique in that they have the ability to run a complete, modern operating system on a computer lacking mutable secondary storage, such as a hard disk drive.

SoCLib's Live-CD

On the SoCLib Live-CD, you'll find:

• a bootable Linux system
• a complete working SoCLib with its dependencies (SystemC, SystemCASS, SDL, ...)
• cross-compilers
• a video tutorial, explaining how to build a hello-world platform from scratch
• example platforms, with full netlists and embedded software source:
  • platforms from the tutorial
  • a simple platform involving interrupt handling, with 1 or 4 processors
  • a parallel Motion-JPEG decoder using DSX
  • a simple ​lua shell under MutekH
  • an H264 decoder
  • a TLM-T simulator running the famous DOOM game under MutekH
