Overview: This book is an introduction to digital design with a focus on using the hardware construction language Chisel. Chisel brings advances from software engineering, such as object-orientated and functional languages, into digital design. This book addresses hardware designers and software engineers. Hardware designers with knowledge of Verilog or VHDL can upgrade their productivity with a modern language for their next ASIC or FPGA design. Software engineers with knowledge of object-oriented and functional programming can leverage their knowledge to program hardware, for example, FPGA accelerators executing in the cloud. The approach of this book is to present small to medium-sized typical hardware components to explore digital design with Chisel. Chisel is unlike most languages in that it is embedded in another programming language, Scala. Fundamentally, Chisel is a library of classes and functions representing the primitives necessary to express synchronous, digital circuits. A Chisel design is really a Scala program that generates a circuit as it executes. To many, this may seem counterintuitive: “Why not just make Chisel a stand-alone language like VHDL or SystemVerilog?” My answer to this question is as follows: the software world has seen a substantial amount of innovation in design methodology in the past couple of decades. Rather than attempting to adapt these techniques to a new hardware language, we can simply use a modern programming language and gain those benefits for free.
