Chisel (software)

Chisel is an open-source software tool used for designing digital circuits, particularly in hardware development. It provides a high-level programming language, Scala, making it easier for engineers to describe complex circuits and systems. Chisel streamlines the process of converting these descriptions into actual hardware designs using a method called hardware description language (HDL). This approach enhances productivity and enables better abstraction, allowing designers to focus more on functionality rather than low-level details. It's widely used in industries and academia for developing custom hardware solutions, particularly in fields like computer architecture and embedded systems.
