pymtl3 VS PyRTL

Compare pymtl3 vs PyRTL and see what are their differences.

pymtl3

Pymtl 3 (Mamba), an open-source Python-based hardware generation, simulation, and verification framework (by pymtl)

PyRTL

A collection of classes providing simple hardware specification, simulation, tracing, and testing suitable for teaching and research. Simplicity, usability, clarity, and extendability rather than performance or optimization is the overarching goal. (by UCSBarchlab)

  • Tools for designing hardware in Python
    6 projects | /r/Python | 26 Mar 2022
    Any hardware designers here who use Python for designing hardware? There are a bunch of libraries that all seem promising MyHDL, PyRTL, PyVerilog, PyLog, PyMTL3, ... All seem to work roughly the same. Write code in Python and transpile it to VHDL/Verilog. Which of these are popular and well-maintained? MyHDL looks good but it's last release was 0.10 in 2018 and for hardware design you don't want to rely on 0.x software. Anything like Chisel for Python.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing pymtl3 and PyRTL you can also consider the following projects:

myhdl - The MyHDL development repository

Pyverilog - Python-based Hardware Design Processing Toolkit for Verilog HDL

hVHDL_example_project - An example project which uses many of the ideas and features of the hVHDL libraries like fixed and floating point math modules and has build scripts for most common FPGAs

pylog - PyLog: An Algorithm-Centric FPGA Programming and Synthesis Flow

hVHDL_fixed_point - VHDL library of high abstraction level synthesizable mathematical functions for multiplication, division and sin/cos functionalities and abc to dq transforms.

PyChip-py-hcl - A Hardware Construct Language

migen - A Python toolbox for building complex digital hardware

firrtl - Flexible Intermediate Representation for RTL

magma - magma circuits

pymtl - Python-based hardware modeling framework
