Copilot: a stream DSL

Copilot-Bluespec implements a Bluespec backend for Copilot, producing code that is suitable for FPGAs.

Copilot is a runtime verification framework written in Haskell. It allows the user to write programs in a simple but powerful way using a stream-based approach.

Programs can be interpreted for testing, or translated Bluespec code to be incorporated in a project, or as a standalone application. The Bluespec backend ensures us that the output is constant in memory and time, making it suitable for systems with hard realtime requirements.

Installation

Copilot-Bluespec can be found on Hackage. It is typically only installed as part of the complete Copilot distribution. For installation instructions, please refer to the Copilot website.

The generated Bluespec code requires bsc (the Bluespec compiler) in order to be compiled. bsc can be downloaded here.
