Milkymist was founded in summer 2007 by Sébastien Bourdeauducq. The open source project tackled the development of a system-on-chip design capable of running MilkDrop. The name "Milkymist" was chosen to evoke a parallel MilkDrop. The development was no small task, as it required designing and/or integrating a powerful 32-bit microprocessor core, basic peripherals, many interfaces, a fast SDRAM controller, and graphics acceleration. The video synthesizer born out of those efforts, the <a href="https://m-labs.hk/m1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Milkymist One</a>, was launched in September 2011 with the help of open hardware company Sharism at Work.

Components of the Milkymist system-on-chip soon found many other uses, such as <a href="https://m-labs.hk/jpl_letter.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">software-defined radio</a> on board the International Space Station. The community grew and activities diversified, with the development of a <a href="http://www.ohwr.org/projects/tdc-core/wiki" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TDC core</a> for CERN (using a variant of the Milkymist SoC for integration), the <a href="https://m-labs.hk/migen/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Migen</a> logic design system and its application to the Rhino software-defined radio platform, and the <a href="https://m-labs.hk/mixxeo.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mixxeo</a> digital video mixer. In 2013, Milkymist was renamed to M-Labs to mark the more varied activities, and formally incorporated in Hong Kong as M-Labs Limited.
