clash-lib-0.5.11: CAES Language for Synchronous Hardware - As a Library
CλaSH (pronounced ‘clash’) is a functional hardware description language that borrows both its syntax and semantics from the functional programming language Haskell. The CλaSH compiler transforms these high-level descriptions to low-level synthesizable VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
Features of CλaSH:
- Strongly typed (like VHDL), yet with a very high degree of type inferece which enables safe and fast prototying using consise descriptions (like Verilog)
- Interactive REPL: load your designs in an interpreter and easily test all your component without needing to setup a test bench.
- Higher-order functions, with type-inference, result in designs that are fully parametric by default.
This package provides:
- The CoreHW internal language: SystemF + Letrec + Case-decomposition
- The normalisation process that brings CoreHW in a normal form that can be converted to a netlist
- Blackbox/Primitive Handling
Front-ends (for: parsing, typecheck, etc.) are provided by separate packages:
Prelude library: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/clash-prelude
