Learn MYHDL with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 27, 2025
Performance Notes
Simulation may be slower for large designs
Use co-simulation with HDL simulators for speed
Minimize Python loops in combinational logic
Precompute static expressions outside simulation loops
Use GHDL/Icarus Verilog for faster waveform generation
Security Notes
Python scripts are typically run locally; no embedded risk
Verify testbench and generated HDL before FPGA deployment
Avoid relying on untrusted external libraries for synthesis
Use version control for design provenance
Document conversion and synthesis steps carefully
Monitoring Analytics
Check simulation events and waveform outputs
Track signal changes over time
Use Python logging for testbench verification
Monitor conversion warnings or errors
Compare simulation vs converted HDL behavior
Code Quality
Follow consistent Python naming conventions
Comment and document modules and testbenches
Modularize reusable components
Validate conversion correctness
Maintain version control and simulation logs
