Abstract

FPGA-based SoCs have become popular daily compared with traditional solutions and expanding application areas to new areas. Intellectuals Properties sharing and reuse are a practical process for electronics designers to reduce the design complexity of SoC. However, open-source hardware has become a compelling concept for improving design productivity. In this article, we present platforms, aiming to make hardware design easier and flexible. They ensure a very high level of abstraction. We expose the aspects of similarity and difference between LiteX, RubyRTL, and PyMTL to highlight the progress that LiteX has made as an open-source framework that has accelerated RD (research and development) in EDA (electronic design automation). LiteX has helped emphasize the concept of co-design and provide engineers and researchers with highly developed and reliable tools.
