1. ツール内容/Content of the tool

This educational tool and the accompanying course aim to teach Software engineers to learn basic hardware design, particularly Register Transfer Level (RTL) logic and Hardware Design Language (HDL) such as Verilog. At a glance, HDL can be considered software code, making software engineers misunderstand HDL and RTL logic as similar to software logic. In fact, there are many differences between these two logic types.

This tool helps software engineers who want to learn hardware design, either as a hobby or a career change, by assisting them in the first steps of getting used to hardware RTL logic. The tool will translate basic software code in Python to Verilog hardware design, with explanations and suggestions based on the accompanying beginner's course in RTL logic and HDL.

2. ターゲット/Target

The targeted users of this tool are software engineers or students studying Computer Science with software programming skills in Python.

3. 学べること/Skills to be acquired

Basic hardware Register Transfer Level (RTL) logic and Hardware Description Language (HDL).

4. 特徴・魅力/Feature of the tool

• The tool will analyze user Python code to provide Verilog suggestions and explainations.

• The accompanying beginner's course will give users more context to the suggestions and explainations.
