        #### A Python toolbox for building complex digital hardware
        
        Despite being faster than schematics entry, hardware design with Verilog and
        VHDL remains tedious and inefficient for several reasons. The event-driven
        model introduces issues and manual coding that are unnecessary for synchronous
        circuits, which represent the lion's share of today's logic designs. Counter-
        intuitive arithmetic rules result in steeper learning curves and provide a
        fertile ground for subtle bugs in designs. Finally, support for procedural
        generation of logic (metaprogramming) through "generate" statements is very
        limited and restricts the ways code can be made generic, reused and organized.
        
        To address those issues, we have developed the **Migen FHDL** library that
        replaces the event-driven paradigm with the notions of combinatorial and
        synchronous statements, has arithmetic rules that make integers always behave
        like mathematical integers, and most importantly allows the design's logic to
        be constructed by a Python program. This last point enables hardware designers
        to take advantage of the richness of the Python language - object oriented
        programming, function parameters, generators, operator overloading, libraries,
        etc. - to build well organized, reusable and elegant designs.
        
        Other Migen libraries are built on FHDL and provide various tools such as a
        system-on-chip interconnect infrastructure, a dataflow programming system, a
        more traditional high-level synthesizer that compiles Python routines into
        state machines with datapaths, and a simulator that allows test benches to be
        written in Python.
        
        See the doc/ folder for more technical information.
        
        Migen is designed for Python 3.5. Note that Migen is **not** spelled MiGen.

        #### Quick intro
        
        ```python
        from migen import *
        from migen.build.platforms import m1
        plat = m1.Platform()
        led = plat.request("user_led")
        m = Module()
        counter = Signal(26)
        m.comb += led.eq(counter[25])
        m.sync += counter.eq(counter + 1)
        plat.build(m)
        ```

        Even though we do not require you to do so, those things are awesome, so please
        do them if possible:
        * tell us that you are using Migen
        * put the Migen logo (doc/migen_logo.svg) on the page of a product using it,
          with a link to http://m-labs.hk
        * cite Migen in publications related to research it has helped
        * send us feedback and suggestions for improvements
        * send us bug reports when something goes wrong
        * send us the modifications and improvements you have done to Migen. The use
           of "git format-patch" is recommended. If your submission is large and
           complex and/or you are not sure how to proceed, feel free to discuss it on
           the mailing list or IRC (#m-labs on Freenode) beforehand.
