Question

I guess this appears to be a more general question I ve seen that many people are using chisel for their ~HLS~ HDL is there a similar effort towards using bluespec or a reason why people have been gravitating to one over the other

Anish · Answer

neither of those are HLS tools

Siddharth Joshi · Answer

I meant HDLs not HLS

Anish · Answer

ah

Anish · Answer

chisel is even more abstracted than bluespec verilog

Anish · Answer

and since it s built upon scala it s very easy to extend and use object oriented and sometimes functional design principles to make it easy to compose large designs

Anish · Answer

plus the large ecosystem of chisel based designs coming out of UC Berkeley helps a lot too

Siddharth Joshi · Answer

gotcha when I looked at the flow it seemed to make doing hand layouts a lot harder but I guess if you re mostly automated that would make a lot of sense Thanks
