The Rox Programming Language

Rox is a programming language aimed at describing hardware. The compiler translates source code into synthesizable VHDL.

Building from Source

1. Make sure you have installed the dependencies:

   • rustc 1.13 or later
   • cargo
   • gmp 6.1 or later
   • mpfr 3.1 or later
   • git

2. Clone the [source] with git:

   sh $ git clone https://github.com/tspiteri/rox.git $ cd rox

3. Build:

   sh $ cargo build --release

4. Install: Once you build, you can copy the generated executable rox to a directory in your path.

Running

The rox executable will read a list of files and output a VHDL for each component defined in the files. For more help run:

sh $ rox --help
