miniHLS: Dead simple high-level synthesis

miniHLS is a educational HLS compiler implemented in Python. It has two goals:

1. Simplicity: The compiler prioritizes design decisions that make implementing the tool and understanding the compiler simple.
2. Extensible: The compiler can be easily extended with optimization and analysis passes.

The generated code is guaranteed to run on Verilator.

Usage

To compile programs from FSM to RTL, use:

  python3 -m minihls.main -i fsm -o rtl <file>

For example, for the example file examples/input.fsm, do:

  python3 -m minihls.main -i fsm -o rtl examples/input.fsm
