FuseSoC - Cores have never been so much fun

In many ways, HDL developers have been many years behind their counterparts in the software world.
                One such area is core management. Where the software developers simply specify which libraries they
                depend on, HDL developers rely on copying around source code. Where software developers can select
                their build tool with a flick of a switch, HDL developers use tool-specific project files powered by
                custom makefiles.
              
FuseSoC rectifies this by bringing a modern
                package manager and a uniform build system to HDL developers, making it easy to reuse existing code,
                change tools and move projects between FPGAs from different vendors. Having been around for seven years
                there are now hundreds of FuseSoC-compatible cores and 14 different simulation, synthesis and lint tools
                supported. This presentation will give an overview of where FuseSoC can help spending less time on the
                cores, and more time on the core business

The FOSSi Foundation is proud to announce Latch-Up, a conference dedicated to free and open source silicon to be held over the weekend of May 4th and 5th in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Latch-Up: a weekend of presentations and networking for the open source digital design community, much like its European sister conference ORConf.
