hwtLib 2.6

library of hardware components and test for HWToolkit framework (hwt, FPGA devel. tools)

hwtLib

Library can be installed by command:

sudo pip3 install hwtLib

hwtLib is the library of hardware components for hwt framework. Relation of hwt and hwtLib is similar as C and stdlib relation.

Any component can be exported as IPCore using Packager class from hwt or as HDL code by toRtl(). Target language is specified by keyword serializer.
