Chisel HDL is a high-level, Scala-embedded language for digital hardware design.

Supports parameterizable modules, functional abstractions, and code reuse.

Generates synthesizable Verilog for FPGA and ASIC workflows.

Includes testing and simulation frameworks for functional verification.

Reduces manual RTL coding while enabling complex, scalable hardware designs.

Is Chisel open-source? -> Yes, BSD-licensed.

Can Chisel generate Verilog? -> Yes, through FIRRTL compiler.

Do I need Scala knowledge? -> Recommended, as Chisel is embedded in Scala.

Can I simulate designs before FPGA synthesis? -> Yes, using ChiselTest or Verilator.

Is Chisel suitable for ASIC design? -> Yes, widely used in research and prototyping.
