I'm just a curious hardware development newbie passing by but would you be willing to share the open-source development tools used? It would be really interesting to take a peek at something that was used to develop a chip very quickly. Most of the hardware stuff seems to be quite complicated and not all that open.

I'm not the original poster, but perhaps he's thinking of https://chisel.eecs.berkeley.edu/ I believe it can (or could?) generate C++ code which compiles into a program that simulates your design.

They wanted to use chisel for the whole stack, but that was impossible because of one of their engineers.
