interesting how you generate blocks from the language: http://cx-lang.org/documentation/structure http://cx-lang.org/documentation/structure - I guess visual feedback would make the language attractive to non-HW designers. I gave a small talk once on sharing HW projects in the browser: https://speakerdeck.com/mulderp/sharing-hardware-with-javascript https://speakerdeck.com/mulderp/sharing-hardware-with-javasc... - of course this is a different level, but still, having web/svg kinds of HW representations would be interesting. I guess for HW, good representations of schematics/waveforms are at least as important as he actual HDL, but I might be wrong.
- MootWoop 12y agoJust to clarify, the diagrams on that page are actually made with Synplify from the generated HDL. As a matter of fact, I agree with you, and we do think that visualization is important. In our tool we have two views: if you're in a task, we show its state machine (kind of required since the input is structured code); and if you're in a network, we show a block diagram. This is how I made the pipeline in another post there: https://blog.synflow.com/hardware-acceleration/ https://blog.synflow.com/hardware-acceleration/ No waveform yet because of limited manpower, but this is on the TODO list :-)
