Absolutely, the UX for compiler tools often leaves a lot to be desired. This is something we want to fix!

- touisteur 5y agoThis is hard, very hard stuff. Between MLIR, the xla world, most HLS things (generalist stuff leaves a lot of perf on the table and you often end up in vhdl/asm anyway - while specialised stuff is often too restricted...) and the vivado 'let's write HDL/RTL like C', many broke their teeth. I wish you good luck there, but you're up a huge task. You have all my congrats for going open source, and I think now it's mostly the only way forward. FINN is OSS and I'm very happy to have an OSS alternative. If only old Altera would go full OSS on new AI+FPGA stuff maybe we'd see great cross pollination. Anyway, if Intel FPGA people aren't watching this, I can assure you they'll be looking soon.
- tdba 5y agoThank you - we'd love to see more OSS support from FPGA vendors too and we'll be watching closely for any developments there.
