David, No problem with the mailing list, others might have some experience that could be useful. Let me know how you make out this weekend, I will be doing the same on my end. FYI, I'm workin on an iMac. Dan On Feb 8, 2008 2:25 PM, Blubaugh, David A. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Dan, I think that is a great idea. However, I have done additional reading and it appears that SAGE is really nothing more than python wrap with scipy and laplack. Therefore, I think we can start on the same thing together, since there is little reason to start a divergence already in this project. I will try to integrate python with scipy and MyHDL this weekend and I be giving you updates during the weekend. I will try and see what I can get at this time. Also, do you have any objections to me forwarding this message to the python community mailing list?? thanks for being a friend. Thanks, David Blubaugh Also, before I forget to mention. I am currently residing in Springboro, Ohio, which is not far from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. ________________________________ From: Dan Fabrizio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 1:16 PM To: Blubaugh, David A. Subject: Re: MyHDL project !!!!! Hi David, No need to apologize. Reply when you get a chance, I realize we all have other things we need to do like work and errands and family and home projects, etc... I don't know at this point which one would be better but let's evaluate both and try to select the best for our needs. How about if you look at Sage and I look at SciPy, maybe we do a simple DSP algorithm ( FIR filter ) in both if needed? What do you think? We could do a floating point version, then follow up with a fixed point version and then compare notes. Just some of my thoughts, what are yours? I live in USA on the east coast very close to Philadelphia, Pa. How about you, where do you live? I have strong interest in the development EDA CAD tools like MyHDL. Most of my work recently has been in ASIC and FPGA design for distributed digital audio and wireless communications products. I have been working on a Timing Analyzer program for a few years. It is about 75% complete but is taking longer than expected being a part time effort. I used Java and didn't know about Python when I started. Tcl/Tk is very popular in a lot of CAD tools I use but it looks like Python is starting to become popular as well. I have thought about converting the application to Python but haven't decided for sure yet.

I was currently experiencing car problems and was extremely late to work. I arrived at work almost at 12:00. My reason for selecting the SAGE environment, is that the SAGE environment appears to be a far more mature environment than SciPy/NumPy/Matplotlib combination. I thought that using SAGE could be able to develop better results sooner than the other combination. However, the most important thing to keep in mind for any endeavor is that we MUST keep everything involved as simple as possible. Which do you believe would be easier to develop and use SAGE or a SciPy/NumPy/Matplotlib combination??? Thanks for all of your sincere help and consideration.

Hi David, Your welcome. I am glad to have found a new friend as well and yes, I am interested in helping you on this project. I have a question, why have you decided to use sage and not SciPy/NumPy/Matplotlib combination? Dan On Feb 7, 2008 5:51 PM, Blubaugh, David A. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello Dan, Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, I am planning to go to final FPGA implementation. Do not worry about the master's thesis. I would not give such a curse such as that. I would like to work on much smaller projects, which could then be latter on combined to form into much larger projects. I have just e-mailed the inventor of SAGE, which is a python implementation of MATLAB-like environment. Would you like to work on the integration of MyHDL into SAGE as a place to start?? Thanks for being a new friend. David ________________________________ From: Dan Fabrizio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 5:42 PM To: Blubaugh, David A. Subject: Re: MyHDL project !!!!! Hi David, I have been thinking about your project and feel it is to much to take on at this time for me. I would be happy to discuss ideas with you along the way if needed. I was thinking that you have write floating point Python for the algorithms first and analyze results. If satisfied, then convert the floating point to MyHDL fixed point algorithms that can be translated to Verilog. Simulate the verilog rtl and verify the results. Are you going to an FPGA?

David, Let's start by discussing your masters thesis subject in more detail. We can take a project from conception to hardware using MyHDL, NumPy and SciPy. Maybe you could use this project as a proof for your thesis showing this methodology warrants consideration compared other ASIC/FPGA flows. Let's discuss some of your ideas and decide how to proceed.

I assume ImpulseC is a commercial product and costs a log. MyHDL is free. If you have any interests in combining MyHDL with SciPy and NumPy I would be interested in getting involved.
