# firrtl
## Flexible Internal Representation for RTL
### This repository contains the compiler for .firrtl files.
### It is currently being developed in stanza, with the end-goal to translate into scala for ease of other people to use.
### This decision was made for multiple reasons:
#### 1. Previous development had already been done in stanza
#### 2. Most of the passes are relatively language independent
#### 3. Stanza is easier to develop in than scala bc less-strict type system
#### 4. As a favor, its useful to develop in stanza to give Patrick some language tips :)
### The hardest part to port will likely be the parser, but we hope to use an scala parser for the port.
### Installation instructions (for Mac):
#### *Disclaimer*: This project is going through development stages so there is no guarantee anything works.

`make install # Stanza installation`
`pip install lit # Install lit (this assumes you have pip installed)`
