Interview
summary
Builds RISC-V processors and RISC-V-based SoCs while using Scala as the hardware construction language, claiming it makes hardware design far more productive and open than traditional HDLs. Describes origins at UC Berkeley, connection to the Hwacha decoupled vector-fetch work, and a workflow that emphasizes reuse and interfaces over rewriting. Wants concrete patterns for organizing large hardware-software codebases and examples of what actually got reused and composed.
