Welcome to the documentation of B-ASIC!

B-ASIC is a Python library for the design and implementation of static algorithms that simplifies the writing of efficient RTL code targeting both standard-cell and FPGA technologies.

The goal is to have a working design path from algorithm down to an HDL-description of a custom architecture. Once it becomes a bit more mature, we expect to make it available on PyPI and conda-forge such that it will become easier to access.

To install B-ASIC, the currently preferred way is:

git clone https://github.com/b-asic-eda/b-asic.git
cd B-ASIC
python -m pip install .

In addition to the dependencies that are automatically installed, you will also need a Qt-binding, but you are free to choose between PyQt6 and PySide6. See https://github.com/b-asic-eda/b-asic for more info.

If you use B-ASIC in a publication, please acknowledge it. Later on there will be a citation provided, but right now, please refer to this documentation or the repository. We will also maintain a list of publications that have used B-ASIC.
