The latest stuff is in feature branches.\n\n## Features\n\n- Compile to complete vendor-specific project from largely vendor-neutral source\n- Object oriented programming model\n- Proceedural state-machine programming model\n- Abstract data and signal types\n- Compile-time scripting\n- Automated timing-requirement generation\n- Bit- and timing-accurate circuit description\n\n## How to Build\n\nWhen cloning the repository, remember to also clone the sub-modules.\n\n### Windows\n\n1. Install [TDM GCC MinGW](http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/) version 5.1.0 or newer.  Currently, only the 32-bit version links to the libraries provided.\n1. Open a POSIX-like terminal (such as [git bash](https://git-scm.com/)).\n1. Change directory to the project folder.\n1. Run `mingw32-make`\n\n### Linux\n\n1. Install a C++11 capable version of GCC.\n1. Open a bash (or sh) terminal.\n1. Install the development versions of `libgmp`, `libmpfr` and `libfftw3`.  On Ubuntu, this can be achieved with:\n    - `sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev`\n    - `sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev`\n    - `sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev`\n1. Change directory to the project folder.\n1. Run `make`\n\n## Running Test Cases\n\nTo run the test cases, change directory into the `Source` folder, then run `make test????`.  Replace the question-marks with the appropriate subfolder in the `TestCases` folder.\n\nThe functional test-cases at the moment are:\n\n- `make testButtonsToLEDs`: a minimal test-case used to test that the logic of the implemented architecture is working.\n- `make testCombinational`: A more thorough test of combination circuits (and various scripting structures).\n\n## More Information\n\nAlcha was the subject of [a PhD thesis](http://hdl.handle.net/11427/37117).\n\nSee the [Wiki](https://sourceforge.net/p/alcha/wiki) for more information.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjpt13653903%2Falcha","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjpt13653903%2Falcha","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjpt13653903%2Falcha/lists"}
