Start with behavior, interfaces, constraints, and the job the hardware must perform.
Don’t start from zero. Build with hardware blocks that are already verified, and let the AI glue them into your design.
UART transmitter and receiver, FIFO, SPI controller, PWM, and debouncer. Each testbench passes, lint is clean, and it synthesizes, checked before every release.
When a block fits, the Architect suggests it, explains how it connects to the rest, and uses it only if you agree. It writes everything else.
A block is added to your project with a README: parameters, ports, and how to instantiate it.
Illustration. Every block shown is a real Tapeo Hub block.
Describe it once. The same RTL, testbench, and goals can stop at simulation, go to silicon, or run on an FPGA board on your desk.
Sipeed Tang Nano 9K and 20K, 1BitSquared iCEBreaker, or Radiona ULX3S. The Architect recommends one that fits your design’s logic, memory, clock, and I/O, with pins from the makers’ own files, never guessed.
Ports become buttons, LEDs, switches, UART, and PMOD or GPIO pins. A reviewable board wrapper and pin constraints are generated for you, and a PLL when your design needs its own clock.
Yosys and nextpnr, with Apicula (Gowin), IceStorm (iCE40), and Project Trellis (ECP5), report utilization, Fmax against your clock, pins, and logs, checked as goals.
Program the board from your terminal or VS Code with tapeo flash, and watch its UART output live in your browser or with tapeo monitor.
Available now as a preview. The fabric, board, and bars are illustrations, not measurements.
Work on ordinary files in your own editor or shell. The VS Code extension and the tapeo command connect to the same Tapeo projects and server-run workflow: design with the Architect, push your files, run the workflow, see tool errors on the line that caused them, and ask the Architect for a fix you review and apply.
Illustration, played as an animation: a design file is edited in VS Code, pushed and run with the tapeo command; a syntax error appears on its line in the editor and in tapeo problems; the Architect proposes a one-line fix that is applied; the next run passes every stage and all goals.
Animated illustration of the real commands. Install the terminal client with npm install -g tapeo-cli; the VS Code extension is “Tapeo” in the Extensions view. Both sign in through your browser. Layout views and the Goals editor are in the web workspace.
