Over six months, contributed to the xlsynth/bedrock-rtl repository by engineering automated regression testing workflows and modernizing build infrastructure. Developed Python scripts to generate and organize YAML for FPV regression, streamlining test scheduling and reducing manual effort. Enhanced Bazel-based build systems by introducing hermetic remote execution for Verilog rules and implementing Bzlmod-compatible module management. Improved CI/CD reliability using GitHub Actions and optimized test runner performance by migrating from zipapp to raw Python execution. Deprecated legacy regression tooling to align with updated testing strategies, reducing maintenance overhead. Work emphasized maintainability, reproducibility, and efficient dependency management across Python, Bazel, and Verilog environments.
June 2026 (2026-06) monthly summary for xlsynth/bedrock-rtl focused on business value, maintainability, and progress against testing strategy goals. Key change this month was streamlining the regression testing workflow by removing the legacy Bedrock FPV regression testing tool and its supporting artifacts. No major bugs were reported or fixed in this period. The work prioritizes reducing maintenance burden and accelerating alignment with the updated testing strategy, enabling the team to reallocate effort toward higher-value verification initiatives.

May 2026 focused on stabilizing the bedrock-rtl Bazel workflow while modernizing the Verilog test runner. We pursued a multi-version Bazel upgrade to 9.1.0 with backward compatibility to 7.7.1, updated CI, dependencies, and documentation to support both versions, and then rolled back when downstream verification indicated incompatibilities with the Verilog runner. In parallel, the Verilog test runner was modernized: a zipapp entry point was introduced, followed by a migration to a raw Python runner to improve test performance and reduce runfiles overhead, with subsequent cleanup of orphaned zipapp targets. The work delivers improved build resilience, faster tests, and clearer cross-version deployment guidance.
