It will *not* take a Python program as input and generate a hardware implementation of it. In nMigen, the Python program is executed by a regular Python interpreter, and it emits explicit statements in the FHDL domain-specific language. Writing a conventional HLS tool that uses nMigen as an internal component might be a good idea, on the other hand :) + ### Installation pip install git+https://github.com/m-labs/nmigen.git -- 2.30.2
