rohd_bridge changelog | Dart package A ROHD-based framework for connectivity and assembly of hardware designs.

Announcing ROHD Bridge v0.1.2! This update comes with some big improvements based on user feedback: bug fixes, improved error messages, and more API flexibility.

See the full changelog here:

Refining Software Algorithms to Hardware Implementations: Recursion As a new way of describing hardware programmatically, ROHD opens up the world of hardware design to people with background in software algorithms. Today, we see a lot of hardware design in the space…

ROHD unlocks modern software patterns to generate hardware! This excellent blog post by Desmond A Kirkpatrick shows how natural it is to develop a recursive algorithm into succinct, verifiable hardware -- starting from the equivalent algorithm in software!

rohd_hcl changelog | Dart package The ROHD Hardware Component Library (ROHD-HCL): a collection of reusable, configurable ROHD components.

The ROHD Hardware Component Library (ROHD-HCL) has released v0.2.1, enhancing its features with new components like dot products, memory init, sign magnitude, more arithmetic operators, sign extension in reduction trees, typed FIFOs. Full change log: buff.ly/WHsLiGn.

Jaspr 0.21.0 is out! 🐾

Omakub Turn a fresh Ubuntu installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system by running a single command.

I tried adding a dual boot Ubuntu with Omakub (omakub.org) to my personal laptop (Dell XPS Plus 13), and it's pretty good! Surprisingly, it gets way less hot, the battery lasts longer, and things feel very snappy, I guess without the bloat.

Announcing ROHD Bridge Designing large hardware systems can be tough, and it’s crucial to have a good solution for managing hierarchy and connecting all the pieces. Even though the top level of your SoC is mostly just…

Announcing ROHD Bridge!! The best way to connect and assemble large hardware designs, now joining the rest of the ROHD ecosystem. ROHD Bridge is extremely fast, flexible, powerful, and modern.

See the announcement blog post for more details:

rohd changelog | Dart package The Rapid Open Hardware Development (ROHD) framework, a framework for describing and verifying hardware.

Build better hardware faster with ROHD v0.6.6! This version introduces new features for "cloning" signals and interfaces, and automates inferring and constructing matching types for structs, ports, etc. These enhancements boost type safety, consistency, and EDA development.

Announcing Dart 3.9 Hello, Dart developers! The latest stable version, Dart 3.9, is officially here!

Want to build hardware with AI? ROHD with the new Dart MCP server is your best bet! Dart 3.9 now better supports tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot for error fixing, dependency management, and code correction, significantly boosting HW dev. Don't miss out! Learn more about ROHD: buff.ly/2waUTww

ROHD enables some really powerful abstraction! In this video, Desmond Kirkpatrick builds and uses advanced data types for a real feature in ROHD-HCL: implementation of floating point DAZ, FTZ, and subnormal as zero!

Curious about the future of hardware design? Announcing ROHD-HCL v0.2.0!

This release has tons of new stuff, including arbitrary-width floating/fixed point arithmetics, reduction trees, clock gating, counters, finders, error correcting, standard interfaces, and much more for free! buff.ly/6eyZEOi

Pretty nice! I guess the `sliding_window` infers the `N` to keep based on what it's zipped with?

I tried to sketch something similar in ROHD to compare. Leveraged the `ShiftRegister` from the library, had to put explicit `clk` and explicit `depth`, and don't have a nice extension (yet?) for `sum`.

Jaspr is now mentioned on dart.dev/web as a great way to build websites with @dart.dev ! 🎯

It's so cool to finally see this on the official site. 🤩

My thesis is now published online! 🎉

Me and a friend (Well mostly my friend, she did most of the design work) built a fully analog flappy bird last weekend

No digital logic, just ~30 op amps and 70-80 resistors, a bunch of capacitors and a few analog switches. All assembled during a 48 hour game jam

Gemini for DartPad Say hello to Gemini in DartPad!

Exciting update for hardware developers! DartPad now features Google Gemini, enabling AI-driven hardware design in your browser with no setup needed. LLMs excel with ROHD as it's in Dart, not SV. Try a simple ROHD counter example by adding an int argument for increment amount: buff.ly/N5NCYpb
