Logic Design Python/ECE474/overview
Existing tools for logic design use sophisticated algorithms to
work efficiently on large design problems. However, they don't provide
much insight into how the algorithms work. The purpose of this package is
to implement some simple tools in a way that parallels the development in
ECE474 - Logic Synthesis Algorithms, focusing on clarity rather than
efficiency, and ignoring the edge cases that make real programs so
complex. Python is the ideal language for this project because of its
clarity. The interactive interpreter makes it easy for students to debug
their programs. See the link above for a start on a package of logic
design tools. To get "hooked"
on Python in two hours, try the tutorial at www.python.org !!
CDP An Open-Source Platform for Front-End IC Design cdp_tut01-a1.zip cdp_tut01-a1.tar.gz
The goal of this project is an easily-learned, universal,
open-source, circuit design platform that will allow IC designers to use
whatever tools they want for design entry, simulation, and display of
results. The platform should provide a simple GUI, basic services such as
storage of tool setups, and should define a simple, standard interface for each
class of tool. Most of the work will be in documenting the design and
construction of the platform, using a simple scripting language ( Python ) and
GUI toolkit ( Qt ) so that others may easily follow the pattern and extend the
platform to support new and more varied tools.
