Chisel's being hooked into the Java / Scala tool chain give makes setting up automated verification pipelines much easier: - You can use SBT or MVM to pull in dependencies - You can wrap up designs as .jar files - Powerful testing tools like QuickCheck come ready made None of the above is rocket science, but simply by being there things become easier. without knowing anything of the industry, tools, It's pretty difficult for a student to find out about what is actually used in industry. The semi industry's secrecy doesn't help. But software and hardware people really don't even have a shared language, and misunderstand each other's abilities and pain points. The very term "verification" is understood quite differently between the different communities.
