Concise monthly summary for 2025-06 focusing on hardware feature delivery and engineering impact for the Cheshire repository.

March 2025 monthly summary for pulp-platform/croc: Delivered the ArtistIC Interactive Map Deployment to GitHub Pages, introducing an interactive HTML map interface and CI workflow changes to build, render, and deploy map tiles and assets for visualization of design layers and spatial relationships. This work enhances design exploration, review, and stakeholder communication by providing a live, accessible visualization of ArtistIC designs. No major bugs were reported this period. Key impact includes improved deployment reliability and faster feedback cycles for map assets.

February 2025: Implemented full-flow CI integration for the ArtistIC repository within the pulp-platform/croc project. This work enables end-to-end automation: checkout of ArtistIC, installation of tools (Inkscape, ImageMagick), customization and rendering of the logo, merging the logo with the chip GDS, and preparing, analyzing, and rendering the chip design, followed by uploading artifacts (renders, logs, and formats). Key commit involved: eddba423d7677ffe9c9bbb288c582d92501a9479 (CI: add ArtistIC to the full-flow CI).

November 2024 monthly summary focusing on enabling FPGA-based hardware flow for Genesys2 on the Croc platform. Delivered a basic Genesys2 FPGA flow, updated the build system to include Genesys2 hardware files, and added automation scripts for synthesis and implementation to streamline hardware bring-up and testing with Xilinx toolchains.
