Hi,

Before using this tool, may I ask who might be the target engineers for this tool.

-HDL engineers are already flooded with a variety of languages, tools, platforms and their bugs and unhelpful documentation.

-Both Altera and Xilinx are offering Universities their Matlab platform tools ready with development boards to entise students on the wrong direction ending up with piles of useless code and little understanding of concepts and fundamentals.

-I thought you may target DSP software engineers as opposed to fpga DSP

and then you will need to bypass HDL altogether and not ask them to edit the verilog. i.e. C-to-fpga directly may suit them to use fpgas without knowing about HDL.

-anyway wish you success.
