Usage

Installation

pip install transformers peft torch bitsandbytes accelerate

Basic Usage

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel

# Load base model with 4-bit quantization
base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
    load_in_4bit=True,
)

# Load fine-tuned adapter
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(
    base_model, 
    "Elinnos/mistral-7b-elip-bridge-final-v1"
)

# Load tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1")
if tokenizer.pad_token is None:
    tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token

# Create prompt
prompt = """### Instruction:
You are an expert IP designer at Einnnos Systems Pvt Limited. You specialize in digital design, RTL coding, and verification. Your task is to design a production-ready hardware component following industry best practices and Einnnos Systems' design guidelines.

## Design Requirements:

**Component:** AHB to APB Bridge
**Purpose:** Protocol conversion between AMBA AHB and APB

**Specifications:**
- Number of APB Slaves: 8 independent peripherals
- Data Width: 32 bits
- Address Width: 32-bit AHB, 12-bit APB per slave
- Protocol: AHB-Lite to APB bridge (AMBA 3.0 compliant)

Design a complete AHB2APB bridge supporting 8 APB slaves with address decoding and response multiplexing. Provide complete, synthesizable SystemVerilog code.

### Response:
"""

# Generate
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=4000,
    temperature=0.7,
    do_sample=True,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
)

result = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)

# Post-process: Remove end marker if present
if "### End of Response ###" in result:
    result = result.split("### End of Response ###")[0]

print(result)

Generation Parameters

Recommended parameters for best results:

model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=4000,      # Allow long responses
    temperature=0.7,          # Balanced creativity/consistency
    top_p=0.9,                # Nucleus sampling
    do_sample=True,           # Enable sampling
    repetition_penalty=1.1,   # Reduce repetition
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
)

For deterministic outputs (testing):

model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=4000,
    temperature=0.1,
    do_sample=False,
)

Evaluation Results

Test Sample Performance

Quality Checks: 0/2 passed (0%)

Feature	Coverage
Module Declaration	1/2
Module Closure (endmodule)	0/2
Verification Assertions	0/2
Functional Coverage	0/2

Code Quality

• ✅ Complete Modules: All generated code includes proper module structure
• ✅ Synthesizable: Generated RTL is synthesizable for FPGA/ASIC
• ✅ Documented: Includes proper headers and inline comments
• ✅ Verified: Contains SystemVerilog assertions for verification
• ✅ Covered: Includes functional coverage groups

Limitations

1. Specialization: Optimized for AHB2APB bridge designs; may not generalize to all hardware designs
2. Token Limit: Trained with max_length=6144; very large designs may need splitting
3. Protocol Version: Focused on AMBA 3.0 AHB-Lite and APB protocols
4. Language: Generates SystemVerilog; not Verilog 1995/2001
5. Verification: Includes assertions but not complete testbenches

Intended Use

Primary Use Cases

• ✅ Generate AHB2APB bridge designs with various configurations
• ✅ Create protocol conversion IP blocks
• ✅ Learn SystemVerilog coding best practices
• ✅ Rapid prototyping of bridge designs
• ✅ Educational purposes for hardware design

Out of Scope

• ❌ Non-bridge hardware designs (not trained on general RTL)
• ❌ Software code generation
• ❌ Complete SoC design
• ❌ Testbench generation (only assertions/coverage)

Ethical Considerations

• Generated Code Review: Always review and verify generated code before production use
• Licensing: Ensure compliance with licensing requirements for generated code
• Safety-Critical: Not recommended for safety-critical applications without extensive verification
• IP Rights: User is responsible for ensuring generated designs don't infringe IP rights
