Developed and integrated the BR_UNUSED macro for the xlsynth/bedrock-rtl repository to address unused Verilog signal warnings during linting. The solution involved defining a Verilog macro that safely sinks unused signals, then incorporating it into the Bazel-based build system to ensure it would not affect synthesis results. Validation was performed using a basic SystemVerilog testbench, confirming the macro’s intended behavior. This work reduced lint noise in continuous integration and code reviews, streamlining hardware description workflows. The approach demonstrated proficiency in build system configuration and hardware description language, laying a foundation for future codebase cleanup and improved verification practices.

BR_UNUSED macro feature delivered for xlsynth/bedrock-rtl to sink unused Verilog signals and suppress lint warnings; macro integrated into the build system and validated with a basic testbench. No major bug fixes this month. Impact: reduced lint noise in CI and code reviews, with no synthesis impact; lays groundwork for future cleanup. Technologies: Verilog macros, build-system integration, testbench development, and lint-focused verification.
