This is still the picture today . Recently, I have been thinking about how integrated circuits can be combined with several other frontier fields .

Today we'll talk about Python.

Python It's not artificial intelligence 、 The language of neural networks , There are also many applications in the field of chip design and verification .

Here are some open source projects ：

RTL Automatic generation ：

Automatic generation of register default type ：

https://github.com/SystemRDL/systemrdl-compiler

Simulation script 、 Regression script ：

Automatic generation UVM Methods ：

RISCV Core Simulation script for ：

because Python Compared with other languages such as Perl,Tcl Lower learning costs 、 More information 、 Easier to use , So use... In actual projects python More and more . Of course not Perl、Tcl There's no need to learn , The old project still needs to be maintained .

however , After opening the code of big guy , But a face muddled .

Here is Google RISCV Core Verify the script for the project run.py Screenshot , Big guys like to use Class To pretend to be forced , This for Python Zero basics or beginners are unfriendly . Functions haven't been learned yet , You told me to use class？ Watching all day UVM It's enough of a headache , alas .

Even verify the script of big brother Jiong ... And a lot of import, be terrified by the sight of sb . or sth 、 look and step back .
