Migen aims at automating further the VLSI design process. Migen makes it
|
|
|
|
|
possible to apply modern software concepts such as object-oriented
|
|
|
|
|
programming and metaprogramming to design hardware. This results in more
|
|
|
|
|
elegant and easily maintained designs and reduces the incidence of human
|
|
|
|
|
errors. Built on these principles, it also provides tools to build
|
|
|
|
|
synchronous designs more productively, integrate system-on-chips, design
|
|
|
|
|
dataflow systems, and more. Migen will become the foundation for the
|
|
|
|
|
next-generation Milkymist SoC.

Additional permissions under section 7 of the GNU General Public License
|
|
|

(GPL) are hereby granted. The purpose of this exception is to allow
|
|
|
|
|
non-GPL (including proprietary) logic cores to be used in conjunction
|
|
|
|
|
with code generated by Migen in a design.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Generated" code refers to Verilog or VHDL code that has been obtained
|
|
|
|
|
by converting FHDL structures using Migen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To "instantiate" is to include and connect another module as specified
|
|
|
|
|
in section 12.1.2 of the IEEE standard 1364-2001 or in section 9.6 of
|
|
|
|
|
the IEEE standard 1076-1993.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) You have permission to propagate a work of generated code that
|
|
|
|
|
instantiates modules that are not generated code and do not comply
|
|
|
|
|
with the GPL.
|
|
|
|
|
(2) You have permission to propagate a work of Verilog or VHDL code that
|
|
|
|
|
is not generated code, does not comply with the GPL and instantiates
|
|
|
|
|
generated code.

The availability of this exception does not imply any general

presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft
