  • About SpinalHDL
    • FAQ
      • What is the overhead of SpinalHDL generated RTL compared to human written VHDL/Verilog?
      • What if SpinalHDL becomes unsupported in the future?
      • Does SpinalHDL keep comments in generated VHDL/verilog?
      • Could SpinalHDL scale up to big projects?
      • How SpinalHDL came to be
      • Why develop a new language when there is VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog?
      • How to use an unreleased version of SpinalHDL (but committed on git)?
