***V**isual **S**imulation of **R**egister **T**ransfer **L**ogic*

VSRTL is a framework for describing, visualizing and simulating digital circuits.  

A VSRTL-described circuit may be built and simulated as a standalone application or embedded within a Qt-based C++ application. As an example, VSRTL is used as the simulation and visualization framework for [Ripes](https://github.com/mortbopet/Ripes), a graphical processor simulator and assembly editor for the RISC-V ISA.

Refer to the [reference section](docs/README.md) for implementation and usage documentation.  

If you would like to contribute, check the [issues](https://github.com/mortbopet/vsrtl/issues) section - There's plenty of work to be done!  

For questions, comments, feature requests, or new ideas, don't hesitate to share these at [the discussions page](https://github.com/mortbopet/VSRTL/discussions).
