As python-based build systems such as FuseSoC and SiliconCompiler gain adoption across the industry, projects are becoming increasingly tied one ecosystem or another. This lock-in limits teams' ability to use hardware IP and leverage tool flows developed in other ecosystems.
This presentation introduces a new approach for interoperability between build systems, along with a supporting library that enables compatibility between FuseSoC's cores and SiliconCompiler's libraries. By lowering switching costs, we aim to increase IP reuse, reduce engineering duplication, and allow teams to choose the right tool for each stage of the design process.
