FPGA Design with Chisel

Explore the world of FPGA design using Chisel in this 40-minute conference talk from linux.conf.au 2021. Discover how Chisel, an open-source digital design tool leveraging the Scala programming language, revolutionizes hardware description compared to traditional languages like Verilog and VHDL. Learn about Chisel's advantages in creating complex digital circuits, its use in modern software engineering practices, and its real-world applications in projects like the Rocket Chip RISC-V processor core and Google's edge tensor processing unit ASIC. Gain insights into FPGA fundamentals, the benefits of using FPGAs, and see a practical demonstration of the MrFPGACore. Whether you're a hardware enthusiast or a software developer interested in digital design, this talk provides a comprehensive introduction to Chisel and its potential in creating expressive, well-tested, and maintainable digital designs.
