FPGA Builds

RadBuild models FPGA work as graph systems. A project can contain one FPGA system or an FPGA system that feeds Linux, firmware, software, package, and deployment systems.

Commands

radbuild project validate --settings settings.json
radbuild graph --settings settings.json --json
radbuild build fpga --settings settings.json --dry-run --json-events

Expected dry-run output:

{"event":"build_started","systems":1}
{"event":"system_planned","system":"vivado","type":"fpga.vivado"}
{"event":"build_finished","status":"dry-run"}

Generated Evidence

RadBuild writes build metadata under .radmeta/, including artifact manifests and JSON event streams suitable for IDE integration.
