👋 Hi, I’m Max! I’m an engineer passionate about both hardware & software. I'm a Principal Engineer at Intel helping to shape the future of hardware, and I lead the open-source ROHD project, making hardware development more accessible and fun.

I enjoy working on personal projects (especially with Dart), snowboarding 🏂, gaming 🎮, and exploring new tech.

Excited to connect with folks in open-source, hardware, and beyond! 🚀

Xschem is a schematic capture program, it allows to create a hierarchical representation of circuits with a top down approach . By focusing on interconnections, hierarchy and properties a complex system (IC) can be described in terms of simpler building blocks. A VHDL, Verilog or Spice netlist can be generated from the drawn schematic, allowing the simulation of the circuit.

Continued thread
often I see RTL designers use non-blocking assignment everywhere, with or without a real need for it, unnecessary complicating the behavior, including resetting logic, utilizing excessive memory, and introducing unnecessary latencies
I guess they were once taught about propagation delays and pipelining as a measure of managing them, and since then try to make ad-hoc pipeline out of everything
still I find it lame and prefer to make everything combinational if possible, and only introduce extra memory if synthesis fails for given timing constraints

for #SystemRDL and similar languages there are (synthesisable) register block generators, having #AXI or AXI Lite on one end and a bunch on signals corresponding to the fields on another
similar generated blocks for parsing and forming AXI Stream should be a thing as well, turning an octet stream into a structure together with a validity and no-longer-needed signals, or vice versa
