No need. I gave ChatGPT this prompt: "Write a data mover in Xilinx HLS with Vitis flow that takes in a stream of bytes, swaps pairs of bytes, then streams the bytes out"

And it did a good job. The code it made probably works fine and will run on most Xilinx FPGAs.

I don't even work in hardware, and yet even I have still heard of the Pentium FDIV bug, which happened despite people looking a lot more closely than "probably works fine".
