Wow, didn't know that Bluespec was open sourced. I used in my Computer Architecture class for assignments 6 years ago, and my experience was that it was much much better than Verilog (the type system was far better) but there was too little learning material/documentation out there on the Internet.
- adrian_b 5y agoBluespec was not open sourced. There is now an open-source Bluespec compiler based on the little public information that is available about Bluespec. So it is likely that it is not compatible with the full Bluespec, even if can synthesize published examples of Bluespec. There are some research papers and the code at: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~djg11/wwwhpr/toy-bluespec-compiler.html https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~djg11/wwwhpr/toy-bluespec-compiler...
- q3k 5y agobsc, the bluespec compiler, has been open sourced under the MIT license. It's the real deal, the same bsc that has been used in the industry for years now. I've been using it in my own personal projects for something something like two years.
- gchadwick 5y agoBluespec was open sourced slightly over two years ago: https://twitter.com/bluespec/status/1225184669978841090 https://twitter.com/bluespec/status/1225184669978841090 https://github.com/B-Lang-org/bsc https://github.com/B-Lang-org/bsc Indeed seems Bluespec Inc. has pivoted to RISC-V CPU IP. No obvious mention of BSV on their webpage (https://bluespec.com/ https://bluespec.com/)
