Well put. The abstraction really is at the heart of it, isn’t it? Perhaps that’s why Make was adopted by the hardware world more slowly. Over the last decade or two, FPGAs have gotten so large, and the external connectivity options so numerous (1GE, 10GE, 40G, 100G), that hardware designs routinely have multiple flavors, differentiated only by the source code included in each. Hahaha Make was inevitable at that point. I have to admit, the x4xx UHD build system is a pretty good example of how to combine Make and Tcl for FPGA design.
But the crusty old hardware guy in me is still hopeful that schematic entry of FPGA designs will come back! :-)
