BashCoder-R1: Towards Robust and Explainable Bash Code Generation with Robustness-Aware Group Relative Policy Optimization

Lei Yu, Peng Wang, Jia Xu +7

Bash scripts are critical for system administration, DevOps, and CI/CD, where code quality affects stability and security. However, LLM-generated scripts often lack reasoning and c…

Configuration Over Selection: Hyperparameter Sensitivity Exceeds Model Differences in Open-Source LLMs for RTL Generation

Minghao Shao, Zeng Wang, Weimin Fu +5

Benchmarking of open-source LLMs for hardware design focuses on which LLMs to use, while treating inference-time decoding configuration as a secondary concern. This work shows that…

From Natural Language to Silicon: The Representation Bottleneck in LLM Hardware Design

Weimin Fu, Zeng Wang, Minghao Shao +5

Edge applications increasingly demand custom hardware, yet Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design requires expertise that domain engineers lack. Large Language Models (LLMs) p…

Synthesis-in-the-Loop Evaluation of LLMs for RTL Generation: Quality, Reliability, and Failure Modes

Weimin Fu, Zeng Wang, Minghao Shao +5

RTL generation is more than code synthesis. Designs must be syntactically valid, synthesizable, correct, hardware-efficient. SOTA evaluations stop at functional correctness and do…

TrojanGYM: A Detector-in-the-Loop LLM for Adaptive RTL Hardware Trojan Insertion

Saideep Sreekumar, Zeng Wang, Akashdeep Saha +6

Hardware Trojans (HTs) remain a critical threat because learning-based detectors often overfit to narrow trigger/payload patterns and small, stylized benchmarks. We introduce Troja…
