LLVM FPGA interface.

Hi LLVM community members.

I downloaded LLVM-GCC4.2 Front-end source code and succefully installed alongwith LLVM-2.3 on linux x86_64. I think it’s front-end has better optimizations.

I am naive to LLVM environment, my focus is to generate LLVM inermediate code for FPGA. Are there any resources/links/papers/documents which discusses LLVM intermediate generation for FPGA needs.

I am aware with Xilinx “CHiMPS” interface for FPGA but probably CHiMPS doesn’t have any freely available eval version of CHiMPS to try with LLVM for study purposes.

I 'ope I am not bothering LLVM developer’s in asking such preliminary questions and support.

I think you are talking about ESL tools?

Would you mind detailing what you are trying to archive?
