Amaranth: An Open-Source Hardware Development Toolchain in Python
2025-08-06
The Amaranth project provides an open-source toolchain for developing hardware based on synchronous digital logic using Python. It's designed for ease of use, minimizing coding errors, and simplifying complex designs with reusable components. Amaranth includes a language, standard library, simulator, and build system, covering the entire FPGA development workflow. It seamlessly integrates with existing Verilog/VHDL code and offers a rich standard library with components like clock domain crossing primitives and FIFOs. A sophisticated simulator and build system further streamline the process, making it easier to port designs across different FPGA platforms.
