1. What is Amaranth stuff by Sporniket, and when to use it ?

Amaranth stuff by Sporniket is my collection of essential code written using the Amaranth hdl.

Amaranth HDL, previously nMigen is a python library to generate an abstract syntax tree of an hardware design, in order to e.g. configure a supported FPGA.

Amaranth stuff by Sporniket aims at :

• Providing some reusable basic design to build more complex systems.
• Providing a helper library to —hopefully— write formal verification tests more easily.
• Serves as dependency manager toward the mains amaranth libraries (amaranth and amaranth-boards) by the way of transitive dependencies.

3. How to use Amaranth stuff by Sporniket ?

As a dependency in your python project

It is expected that a compatible version of python is used

In your project descriptor (pyproject.toml file), add a dependency pointing to this repository, optionnally with a specific hash (better for build stability, requires manual updating), e.g.

'amaranth-stuff-by-sporniket @ git+https://github.com/sporniket/amaranth-stuff@a738ace61839390dfdaa8ef06baa17d32482d771',

A build tool like pdm can be used to manage dependencies in a normalized manner.

Working on the sources

It is expected that a compatible version of python is used, and that pip and pdm are also installed.

git clone https://github.com/sporniket/amaranth-stuff.git
cd amaranth-stuff
python3 -m pdm sync
python3 -m pdm ci
