bitwise 1.0
Bitwise is a Python library intended to make hardware design and simulation more accessible
for software engineers. While it can never replace a true hardware description language,
it aims to serve as a useful tool in the hardware design process, allowing a user to build and test
their digital circuits in a high-level programming language (i.e. with simpler syntax and more
flexible semantics) before implementing them using an HDL.
Getting Started
Refer to the documentation for installation
instructions, usage examples, API reference, and more.
Quick Example
The following code creates a half-adder circuit:
"""
Create a half-adder.
"""
import bitwise as bw
def main():
# initialize inputs
a = bw.wire.Wire()
b = bw.wire.Wire()
# initialize outputs
sum_ = bw.wire.Wire()
carry_out = bw.wire.Wire()
# create circuit
bw.gate.XORGate2(a, b, sum_) # XORs a and b and puts the result into sum_
bw.gate.ANDGate2(a, b, carry_out) # ANDs a and b and puts the result into carry_out
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Interacting with it in a Python session:
In [1]: a.value = 0
In [2]: b.value = 0
In [3]: sum_.value
Out[3]: 0
In [4]: carry_out.value
Out[4]: 0
In [5]: a.value = 1
In [6]: sum_.value
Out[6]: 1
In [7]: carry_out.value
Out[7]: 0
In [8]: b.value = 1
In [9]: sum_.value
Out[9]: 0
In [10]: carry_out.value
Out[10]: 1
