PeakRDL-PyRAL: A scalable, low-overhead Python register abstraction layer
summary
PeakRDL PyRAL generates a database-backed RAL instead of massive generated Python, claims O(1) import and construction and demonstrates interactive use with OpenOCD/JTAG hardware IO, context-manager read/modify/write, and IDE-friendly .pyi stubs for autocomplete. It supports grafting smaller RALs into a larger SOC and targets very large maps (author reports about 100,000-register scaling), is on PyPI, and constructs objects lazily as code navigates the model.
