Nordin Aranzabal presents Hog, a set of Tcl and shell scripts designed to manage HDL designs and ensure traceability within Git.
Presented at the 1st FPGA Developers' Forum Meeting: cern.ch/fdf24 Register to our newsletter at cern.ch/fdf-news Sign-up in our forum at cern.ch/fdf Link to Slides: indico.cern.ch/event/1381060/contributions/5923313/ The coordination of firmware development among numerous developers is a major issue in any collaboration. This requires standardised tools for ensuring binary file traceability and firmware synthesis with Place and Route repeatability. To address these problems, we present Hog, a free and open-source tool for maintaining HDL on git. Hog integrates within HDL IDEs (Intel Quartus, MicroSemi Libero, AMD Vivado and ISE) on both Windows and Linux platforms, minimizing overhead labour, and easing the use of advanced git features. Hog is a set of Tcl/Shell scripts with an appropriate workflow for managing HDL designs in a git repository. Hog is included as a submodule, a simple method of maintaining HDL code on git requiring no further installation. This method allows for automatic detection of any change in the source code, embedding the git tag and commits SHA in the bitstream. Hog exploits the use of the git CI to automatically compile and simulate the project, generating tags and releases.What people say. Recommended as a useful tool from CERN for managing HDL designs and firmware synthesis in Git.
