AsFigo - enabling opensource chip design and verification.

At AsFigo , we have always believed that the best verification tools grow organically from real engineering friction. Over the last couple of years, as AI coding assistants have flooded into hardware workflows, that friction has fundamentally shifted. The core bottleneck is no longer just writing code—it is safely and predictably integrating AI-generated code into complex, existing environments. As a small but dedicated contributor to the open-source EDA community, we want to share the journey of how SVALint evolved from a localized parser experiment into an essential guardrail for modern AI-assisted verification. From Experiment to Ecosystem: The SVALint Journey Our work on SVALint began in early 2023, we began experimenting with the early stages of slang and PySlang . That work led to PySlint , and eventually, we built out a custom linting infrastructure specifically focused on SystemVerilog testbench (including SVA). We took those early iterations to the community, gatheri...
