🛸 Introduction

Flote is a hardware description language and Python framework for hardware simulation. It is designed to be friendly, simple, light and productive. More easy to use and learn than Verilog and VHDL. Using Flote, you can create integrated circuits component by using it's HDL and/or Python framework that work by the HLS (High Level Synthesis) concept.

Here is an example of a half adder in Flote:

```flote comp halfAdder { in bit a; in bit b;

out bit sum = a xor b; out bit carry = a and b;

} ```

⚙️ How it works

Flote's Evaluator uses a structure of a compiler's front-end to elaborate the component. It has a scanner, parser and a builder. This last one is responsible for build the component, an object that can be manipulated in Python and simulates the behavior of the integrated circuit. The model object it's a set of signals buses and uses event driven algorithm and dynamic programming to simulate the behavior of the circuit.

Using the HLS side, you can create the component "by hand". Also with the use of the Python package you can manipulate the signals and sava then in a waveform file.

🚀 Release

Flote is in beta development. You can see the latest releases in the GitHub repository.
