    HDL development tools
    Talk

    VHDL-LS is one of the most popular free and open-source Language Servers for VHDL as measured by GitHub stars. With features such as syntax and type checking, code navigation, completion and many more, it boosts developers abilities to write VHDL code.

    This talk dives deeper into the basics of language servers, presents the current state of VHDL-LS and demonstrates its capabilities such as...

  3. 81. fwk: An Open-Source Framework for Standardized FPGA Development at DESY
    Cagil Gumus (DESY)
    5/28/26, 5:40 PM
    HDL development tools
    Talk

    At DESY, the increasing complexity of control systems for particle accelerators requires a standardized approach to FPGA development. We present fwk, an open-source framework designed to abstract design logic from underlying vendor-specific implementation tools. The framework provides a unified environment for managing IP cores, project generation, and register mapping across different...

  4. 82. DevOps for FPGA 101: from version control to hardware-in-the-loop testing
    Matteo Vit (Starware Design)
    5/28/26, 6:00 PM
    HDL development tools
    Talk

    This talk demonstrates that adopting DevOps principles for FPGA projects is neither complex nor prohibitively expensive. Using widely available open-source tools, mature software-style pipelines can be applied to hardware design with meaningful productivity gains.

    The presentation will cover a practical end-to-end approach, including:
    - Effective use of Git-based version control for HDL,...
