OpenCores come to GitLab
Blog post from GitLab
OpenCores, a prominent community for Gateware development with over 300,000 members and more than 1,200 projects, is transitioning to GitLab to enhance IP core development and integrate innovative uses in scientific and electronic design communities. Gateware, defined as the intermediary layer between hardware and firmware, is crucial for digital designs, often involving FPGA and ASIC devices. OpenCores, maintained by Oliscience, supports the electronics design community by hosting a vast repository of open-source IP cores, promoting open standards, and fostering global collaboration. The community's move to GitLab, driven by its comprehensive DevOps and CI/CD capabilities, aligns with a broader industry push to simplify programmable logic development and implement Continuous Verification (CV) processes to ensure high-quality gateware. This transition is supported by strong ties with organizations like CERN and the European Space Agency, which are interested in improving gateware quality for industrial and commercial applications, highlighting GitLab's role in reducing design cycle times and enhancing code collaboration.
