Unifying FuseSoC and SiliconCompiler
summary
Prototype called Silisoc maps FuseSoC EDAM YAML into SiliconCompiler’s JSON schema and runs FuseSoC CLI commands against the SiliconCompiler scheduler, producing the usual FuseSoC build directory while using SiliconCompiler’s hashing, nodal rerun and remote-exec features. Current MVP supports Vivado flows only, lacks VCS/Xcelium and proprietary tool modules, and includes a core importer for one-way ingestion; roadmap targets EDAM→schema mapping parity with Utilize and FuseSoc CLI passthrough to replace make.
