Dear FPGA enthusiasts,
I am happy to announce that the new stable version of Hog (Hog2024.2) has been released. More info on Hog can be found at https://cern.ch/hog.
The main features included in this new release are:
- Improved support for Hog-CI running on GitHub Actions.
- Renamed of merge_and_tag stage into check_branch_state in the Hog-CI.
- Hog-CI now makes use of the GitLab and GitHub CLI software, to perform all repository-related actions.
- Improved support for AMD Versal device
- For Versal, added a new pre-platform user-defined script that is executed just before the generation of the XSA file.
- Changed default simulator software to Vivado Simulator (Vivado only).
- Improved support for MicroChip Libero SoC.
- Added a new parameter HOG_SIMPASS_STR into sim.conf. This allows users to specify a special keyword that, when found in the simulation log, will indicate that the simulation has passed.
To update Hog to the new release, follow the instructions on our documentation: Update Hog to a newer release
Thanks a lot,
Davide for the Hog team
