Writing about the language, the compiler, and the boards built with them. https://cohdl.org/blog/feed.xml 2026-09-08T13:30:00Z Tony Huang https://cohdl.org/blog/cohdl-0-7-0/ 2026-09-08T13:30:00Z 2026-09-08T13:30:00Z

Circuits become reusable, typed building blocks: subdesign exposes ports, keeps its internals behind them, and carries its own default layout onto the board as one placed unit — plus a CAN joint-motor-controller example and a Zed extension.

The compiler now writes EasyEDA / LCEDA Pro netlists — verified end to end with a real import — and the registry gains STM32 and ESP32 device catalogs generated from pinned vendor sources.

The compiler now writes .kicad_pcb board files itself, a new explorer renders any checked design as a searchable, live-reloading schematic, dependencies resolve transitively, and the macOS binaries are signed and notarized by Apple.

Software has crossed the AI-native threshold; hardware design is still trapped in canvases and PDFs. CoHDL turns circuit topology into typed source code with a compiler, registry and downstream handoff formats.
