After considering the different options (specially Yhc.Core) I decided
to go for Embedded Compiling [1] + Observable Sharing[2] to translate
from ForSyDe[3] to VHDL[4] instead of making a whole Haskell-Compiler
backend.
Creating a backend would fit a more ambitious goal: translating any
haskell
For .hi files just compile it with Yhc and take a look at the .hi file
it creates, they are plain text. If they are top level functions
(which they certainly are, I guess) this should be all you need.
Another approach is to get the type information out of Hugs with the
:t command line prod. I've d
Hi
That implies I need a way to infere or directly obtain the types of
the functions used in the core representation. That as you said, can
probably be done by means of the .hi files or the typerep extension
you mentioned. I'll try to have a look at both options. Any good
documentation pointers?

Hi
I haven't yet planned how to achieve the translation but VHDL, unlike
Haskell, doesn't have type inference mechanisms. That means I need to
declare the interface of whatever I will translate each Yhc.Core
function to (i.e. VHDL Entities, Architectures, Functions ... )

Hi all,
As I wrote in the previous HLADPSA announcement, during the following
moths I'm going to write a translator from Haskell to VHDL in order to
accomplish my masters thesis goal.
The main requirement is managing to translate from a ForSyDe
