Contributing to Chipyard
=============================
### Branch management:
1) github:com/ucb-bar/chipyard: master = stable release. All merges to master must go through PR.
2) github:com/ucb-bar/dev: dev = pre-release non-stable branch with latest features. All merges to dev must go through PR.
3) Other dependancies pointed at by Chipyard (e.g. firesim, boom): master should be the version submoduled in ucb-bar/chipyard master.

Chipyard is an open source framework for agile development of Chisel-based Systems-on-Chip.
It will allow you to leverage the Chisel HDL, Rocket Chip SoC generator, and other [Berkeley][berkeley] projects to produce a [RISC-V][riscv] SoC with everything from MMIO-mapped peripherals to custom accelerators.
Chipyard contains processor cores ([Rocket][rocket-chip], [BOOM][boom]), accelerators ([Hwacha][hwacha]), memory systems, and additional peripherals and tooling to help create a full featured SoC.
Chipyard supports multiple conccurent flows of agile hardware development, including software RTL simulaiton, FPGA-accelerated simulation ([FireSim][firesim]), automated VLSI flows ([Hammer][hammer]), and software workload generation for bare-metal and Linux-based systems ([FireMarshal][firemarshal]).
Chipyard supports multiple concurrent flows of agile hardware development, including software RTL simulation, FPGA-accelerated simulation ([FireSim][firesim]), automated VLSI flows ([Hammer][hammer]), and software workload generation for bare-metal and Linux-based systems ([FireMarshal][firemarshal]).
Chipyard is actively developed in the [Berkeley Architecture Research Group][ucb-bar] in the [Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department][eecs] at the [University of California, Berkeley][berkeley].
