Using Python for creating hardware to record FOSS conferences!

Tim 'mithro' Ansell
Python is generally considered a high level language a long way from hardware, this very fact actually makes it an awesome tool for helping out with the design and creation of hardware!


This talk will hopefully cover;

* Python hardware description languages (HDLs) for creating "gateware" for FPGA chips or even real IC design.
* Python scripting for hardware schematic layout and design rule checking.
* Python tools for deploying, programming and debugging embedded systems.
* Some cool projects like HDMI2USB.tv project.

This talk will focus on open source tools.
