- Description:
- Silice is an easy-to-learn, powerful hardware description language, that allows
both to prototype ideas quickly and then refine designs to be compact and
efficient.
Silice achieves this by offering a few, carefully designed high level design
primitives atop a low level description language. In particular, Silice allows
to write and combine algorithms, pipelines and per-cycle logic in a coherent,
unified way. It features a powerful instantiation-time pre-processor, making it
easy to describe parametric designs.
Silice offers a ready-to-go design environment, supporting many FPGA boards,
both open-source and proprietary. It natively supports simulation and formal
verification.
Silice syntax is simple, explicit and easy to read, and should feel familiar to
C programmers and Verilog designers alike. Silice comes with a ton of examples.
The build system already supports many popular boards such as the IceBreaker,
de10-nano, ULX3S, Fomu and IceStick. Silice works great with the open-source
FPGA toolchain (yosys/nextpnr/icestorm), see our Ice40 and ECP5 examples.
You do not need an FPGA to start with Silice: designs and their outputs
(e.g. VGA signals) can be simulated and visualized.

Mk/**java.mk: Convert bsd.java.mk to USES
The following features have been added or changed:
- Instead of USE_JAVA use USES=java. This defaults to
USES=java:build,run if NO_BUILD is undefined. Else it defaults to
USES=java:run
- Instead of USE_ANT=yes use USES=java:ant which also implies
USES=java:build
- Instead of JAVA_BUILD=yes use USES=java:build. Does not imply run or
extract
- Instead of JAVA_EXTRACT=yes use USES=java:extract does not imply
build or run
- Instead of JAVA_RUN=yes use USES=java:run does not imply extract or
build
- Instead of USE_JAVA=<version> use USES=java and JAVA_VERSION=<version>
