hBPF = eBPF in hardware

Saturday, April 3, 2021

hbpf-logo-l.png Introducing hBPF - an eBPF implementation for FPGAs.

This project was started beginning of 2021 as an experiment of how fast and how far you can get, with using alternate hardware description languages (compared to the classic ‘V’ languages VHDL and Verilog), most of the time open-source tools (compared to expensive, commercial toolchains) and cheap development boards (e.g Arty-S7).

It implements an eBPF CPU using LiteX/Migen, a Python3 based SoC builder and Hardware Definition language (HDL).
