Spinal Hardware Description Language

Welcome to SpinalHDL’s documentation!

SpinalHDL is an open source high-level hardware description language. It can be used as an alternative to VHDL or Verilog and has several advantages over them:

• It focuses on efficient hardware description instead of being event-driven.

• It is embedded into a general purpose programming language, enabling powerful hardware generation.
