The Cx programming language: digital hardware design for developers

This looks pretty cool.

Would love to see a toy example of a double-SHA256 engine. Would be kind of cool if people could build their own Bitcoin mining ASIC, crowd fund it, and give everyone access to cheap Bitcoin mining ASICs.

Thanks!

You might be interested by my implementation of SHA-256 in Cx available on Github: https://github.com/synflow/sha-256 It is a toy example (I haven't implemented the pre-processing step), with an architecture that offers a good trade-off in terms of performance / area, so it's probably not the ideal implementation if you want a very highly-optimized ASIC, but it's still a good starting point.

This needs to become a thing!!! I guess I will give Cx a chance.

We hope so too :) If somehow Cx doesn't live up to its promises and what you expect from it, please let us know! We're still improving it based on the feedback we get. Thanks!
