Digital Design with Chisel

6th edition, 2025

This book is an introduction to digital design with a focus on using the hardware construction language Chisel. Chisel brings advances from software engineering, such as object-orientated and functional languages, into digital design. This book addresses hardware designers and software engineers. Hardware designers with knowledge of Verilog or VHDL can upgrade their productivity with a modern language for their next ASIC or FPGA design. Software engineers with knowledge of object-oriented and functional programming can leverage their knowledge to program hardware, for example, FPGA accelerators executing in the cloud. The approach of this book is to present small to medium-sized typical hardware components to explore digital design with Chisel.
