Automated firmware generation and continuous testing for the CMS HGCAL trigger primitive generator

Abstract The prototype version of the trigger primitive generator firmware for Phase-2 CMS endcap calorimeter upgrade is being implemented in order to assess FPGA resource requirements and dimension system. For development some these blocks, a data-driven design flow based on VHDL HLS C/C++ templates used automate production multiple variants. In addition, steps are integrated into Gitlab Continuous Integration tools automatically test validate every change, as much possible avoid repetitive manual tasks associated errors.
