Hello: I haven't been able to track all recent activity here for two reasons. First, in the past months I have been working intensively on a very interesting design project (also involving MyHDL). Second, I have not yet given up on APP :-) and I have given it a lot of attention. The project has been taped-out now. I'm preparing for a new one (also involving MyHDL) but there will be some time left to make progress on MyHDL itself. I will start by catching up with the posts here. Regarding APP, I not really happy with how it works out so far. Consider my last post: http://www.programmableplanet.com/author.asp?section_id=2438&doc_id=252295 It think it makes a strong and clear case for Python, but from the response my feeling is people still just don't get it, or are not willing to get it. For example, I spent a lot of effort in the comment section, not show to why Python is good choice to write reference models, but why reference models are a good idea in the first place. And apparently I didn't succeed! It's just so tiresome at times. Anyway, I have an even stronger post ready, and we'll see.

I'd like to know if I was going on the right direction with them. As for your recent blog posts I found them excellent. However I think you should try to make the case for how one would integrate MyHDL into an existing "traditional" workflow, as we have been recently discussing in this list. I think that the "how to get from here to there" question may be what makes it harder for people to imagine how MyHDL could be useful for them, as opposed to a nice concept. Cheers, Angel |

Any new features/feature request will have to wait until 0.8 is released - as it has been heavily used already all I will do for that is fix obvious bugs and complete the documentation.
