Show HN: FPGA build environment generator
Last week I released a web-based, automated build environment / Makefile generator for FPGA projects:
http://www.boldport.com
It's just a start, and I'd appreciate feedback. Tell me what sucks about it, what you love, where to improve. (BTW, I'm happy to help anyone who's interested to set up or convert their projects to work with the "boldport flow"!)
In this context, my proposal for a scalable and version control friendly project structure for FPGA designs may be interesting as well:

- limmeau 15y agoHave you thought of using your technology to generate Makefiles for projects based on C, Autotools, Pkg-config, etc. ? (Read as: I don't do FPGAs, but those build processes are not particularly fun to set up).
- saard 15y agoYup, the architecture of boldport is generic and can adapt to (almost) any software stack. I'm an FPGA design expert so that's where I started.
- Geee 15y agoOne suggestion would be to consider adding MyHDL to language choices.
- saard 15y agoYes, thanks, that's in the works.
- jerome_etienne 15y agonice idea! keep on the good work
- saard 15y agoThanks! What did you like about it?
