nMigen is designed for Python 3.6 and newer. nMigen's Verilog backend requires [Yosys][] 0.9 or a newer version.
Thanks [LambdaConcept][] for being a sponsor of this project! Contact sb [at] m-labs.hk if you also wish to support this work.
The development of nMigen has been supported by [SymbioticEDA][], [LambdaConcept][] and [M-Labs][].

### HLS?
nMigen is *not* a "Python-to-FPGA" conventional high level synthesis (HLS) tool. It will *not* take a Python program as input and generate a hardware implementation of it. In nMigen, the Python program is executed by a regular Python interpreter, and it emits explicit statements in the FHDL domain-specific language. Writing a conventional HLS tool that uses nMigen as an internal component might be a good idea, on the other hand :)
