About The Project

Over the years developing in Bluespec we came accross certain features missing from the AzureIP library. This repository contains some of the frequently used parts.

• A FIFO that counts the maximum number of entries. Useful for design space exploration.
• Network helper functions, e.g. toggle endianess in Word.
• Send out data over a AXI4 stream based network interface, e.g. Xilinx 10G Ethernet Subsystem
• Parse ethernet packets coming from such a subsystem
• Produce colorful text for testbenches

Built With

• Bluespec Compiler
