HDL On Git (Hog)

Coordinating firmware development among many international collaborators is becoming a very widespread problem.

Guaranteeing firmware synthesis with P&R reproducibility and assuring traceability of binary files is paramount. Hog tackles these issues by exploiting advanced Git features and being deeply integrated with HDL IDE, with particular attention to Intellectual Properties (IP) handling.

Hog is a set of Tcl/Shell scripts plus a suitable methodology to allow a fruitful use of Git as a HDL repository and guarantee synthesis reproducibility and binary file traceability.

More information on the how to use Hog can be found in the user documentation website

Hog Releases

Stable Hog releases are stored in the master branch and are tagged as Hog<YEAR>.<n>, for example Hog2024.1. Pulling the master branch always gives you the most updated Hog stable release.

Hog developers use the develop branch, tagging functional but not thoroughly tested releases with the format vM.m.p, for example v1.2.3. So pulling the develop branch will give you the most updated Hog version but not necessarily a stable on.
