Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Title | HoG HDL on Git |
| Description | Coordinating firmware development among many international collaborators is becoming a very widespread problem. Guaranteeing firmware synthesis with Place and Route reproducibility and assuring traceability of binary files is paramount. Hog tackles these issues by exploiting advanced git features and integrating itself with HDL IDEs: Xilinx Vivado, Xilinx ISE (planAhead)[1] or Intel Quartus[2]. The integration with these tools intends to reduce as much as possible useless overhead work for the developers. Hog is a set of Tcl/Shell scripts plus a suitable methodology to handle HDL designs in a Gitlab repository. Hog is included as a submodule in the HDL repository in a Hog directory and allows developers to create the Vivado/PlanAhead/Quartus project(s) locally and synthesise/implement it or start working on it. |

| Impact | Usage of the software is not monitored, as it is open. It is known that the software is used by ESRF, and also some companies. Indication of the level of interest is indicated by the attendance at, for example, the 2025 HoG tutorial: https://indico.cern.ch/e/hog2025 . A related meeting is the FPGA Developers Forum meetings, 2nd at CERN in May 2025: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1467417/ |
