It manages HDL package dependencies from Git repositories and local paths, resolves compatible versions, writes a `Bender.lock`, and emits ordered source sets for downstream EDA tools. ### Projektgeschichte The official GitHub repository was created in May 2018 and is maintained by the PULP Platform at ETH Zurich and the University of Bologna. The README positions Bender as a tool that fits existing hardware flows instead of imposing a registry, directory layout, or simulator. By the 0.24.0 release in January 2022, Bender had an established public release stream; releases continued through the 0.32.0 release in June 2026. The project is written and distributed as a developer CLI with crates.io, Homebrew, and Nix packaging signals. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Bender's adoption sits in the open hardware and HDL ecosystem rather than general software packaging. It is used to pin Git-based IP dependencies, handle local overrides, and generate scripts for tools such as QuestaSim, VCS, Vivado, and Verilator. The PULP Platform affiliation gives it a notable institutional context: it serves the kind of multi-repository hardware IP workflow common in research and silicon-development groups. ### Wie es verwendet wird A typical workflow is to create or edit `Bender.yml`, run `bender update` to resolve dependencies and write `Bender.lock`, optionally run `bender checkout`, and generate simulator or synthesis tool inputs with `bender script`. `Bender.local` is used for local dependency overrides when developing hardware IP in place. This makes Bender closer to Cargo or Bundler in spirit than to a simulator wrapper, but specialized for HDL source ordering and EDA tool integration. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Bender is package-nerd significant because hardware projects often have dependency problems that look like software package management but with HDL-specific source ordering, include directories, defines, and simulator targets. Bender packages those concerns into a reproducible CLI. It is also an example of package management without a central registry: dependencies can come from Git tags, revisions, or local paths, and reproducibility is carried by the lockfile. ### Zeitleiste - 2018: GitHub repository created. - 2022: v0.24.0 release published. - 2024: v0.28.0 release published. - 2025: v0.29.0 release published. - 2026: v0.32.0 release published. ### Related projects - The PULP Platform maintains Bender and uses it in the open hardware ecosystem. - QuestaSim, VCS, Vivado, and Verilator are documented downstream tool targets. - Cargo/crates.io is part of the distribution story for the Rust-based CLI. ### Quellen - - - - source_facts.package-manager - source_facts.repo ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
