Hardware design with Python

fustini

Pretty interesting to see Python used for FPGA and ASIC design:

 

M-Labs: Migen & MiSoC

http://m-labs.hk/gateware.html

  • Migen is a Python-based tool that automates further the VLSI design process.
  • Built on Migen, MiSoC provides a high performance, flexible and lightweight solution to build system-on-chips for various applications.

 

Originally developed for Milkymist it seems. HDMI2USB using it now. Also used for quantum physics lab!

 

cheers,

  • I have stumbled upon the M-Labs website by chance and I have to admit I like a lot their ideas. I would like to use the Migen for the future projects involving FPGAs.

    Their concept can be extended for other areas and after reading about the Migen I am considering to use python to be able to generate common communication routines for various microcontrollers.

    For instance, when dealing with streaming I need to write again and again common processing routines.
