Private Alpha / Under Construction
fpga.chat: EDA Error Decoder and FPGA debugging assistant
Turn FPGA and EDA logs into structured reports with evidence lines, likely cause, fix options, verification steps and explicit limitations.
The public MVP is Error Decoder first. Constructor workflows remain alpha/planned and all generated HDL, constraints and testbenches must be independently verified.
Workflow
From EDA error to reproducible next step
fpga.chat is designed for engineering triage: source-backed context, explicit confidence, limitations and concrete next actions.
- Paste a redacted EDA log
- Detect tool, stage and error pattern
- Attach evidence and limitations
- Return fix options and next checks
Build constructor
Constructor access is secondary to the Error Decoder MVP. It can draft modules, testbenches and project skeletons, but those outputs are not reviewed hardware.
Open Build alphaMarket
Market lists GitHub-hosted FPGA cores that can be reviewed for Build compatibility. Paid usage is ledgered after reviewed paid core use; direct checkout is not enabled in v1.
Supported and planned FPGA/EDA context
Vivado / Quartus / Verilator / Yosys / ModelSim/Questa / Icarus Verilog
Public cloud does not run proprietary vendor tools by default. Reports remain evidence-scoped drafts until validated with the appropriate local tools and engineering review.
Trust boundary
Conservative claims by design
The assistant explains and ranks hypotheses. It is not the source of truth for board facts, signoff, vendor behavior or final hardware readiness.
fpga.chat is not a certified EDA tool.
Generated HDL must be verified through simulation, synthesis and engineering review.
No unlimited AI, no lifetime access, no investment, no equity, no guaranteed timing closure.
Roadmap

Roadmap items are non-binding and describe intended work, not production availability.

Access
Alpha plans keep usage bounded
Credits keep expensive workflows explicit. Founder access is optional support for early development, not a guarantee of production readiness.
