Summary

SHDL (Simple Hardware Description Language) is a minimalist hardware description language designed for education and experimentation that uses only logic gates. It provides an intuitive syntax for defining digital circuits and includes a Python API (PySHDL) for circuit simulation. The tool compiles circuits to C code, making them portable and runnable anywhere. The article covers installation, quick start examples, CLI options, and Python API documentation for creating and working with digital circuits.
