When full SystemVerilog or VHDL feature support is needed
If Python is unavailable in your workflow
For very large-scale ASIC designs without co-simulation
When third-party FPGA IP blocks must be directly integrated
Final Summary
MyHDL allows hardware design, simulation, and verification using Python.
Supports combinational/sequential logic, testbenches, and HDL conversion.
Bridges software and hardware development for rapid prototyping.
Widely used in FPGA, ASIC, and educational environments.
Enables Python-driven automated testing and hardware code generation.
Faq
Can MyHDL generate synthesizable HDL? -> Yes, for most Python constructs that follow hardware logic rules.
Do I need to know Python? -> Yes, Python knowledge is required.
Can MyHDL handle FPGAs? -> Yes, via conversion to HDL.
Is MyHDL faster than VHDL simulation? -> Python simulation is slower but allows rapid prototyping.
Can I use MyHDL for ASIC design? -> Yes, but co-simulation and timing verification are necessary.
