AI Analysis
Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS
The package exhibits low individual risk factors but the combination of a new or inactive author account, minimal metadata effort, and shell executions for potentially sensitive operations raises suspicion.
- New or inactive author account
- Minimal metadata effort
Per-check LLM notes
- Network: No network calls detected, indicating no direct communication over the network.
- Shell: Shell executions appear to be related to FPGA programming and configuration, which is consistent with the package's expected functionality.
- Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk of malicious obfuscation.
- Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk of secret theft.
- Metadata: The package shows low effort in metadata and the author account seems new or inactive, but no clear malicious indicators are present.

AI App Starter Prompt
Use this prompt to build a project with amaranth-boards
Your task is to develop a small but comprehensive utility application using the Python package 'amaranth-boards'. This application will serve as a basic FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) board configurator and monitor. It will allow users to select different FPGA boards supported by the 'amaranth-boards' package, configure their settings via a simple GUI, and monitor real-time status updates of the selected board's operation. The application should include the following core functionalities: 1. A graphical user interface (GUI) built using a Python library such as Tkinter or PyQt, allowing users to interact with the application. 2. An initial screen where users can choose from a list of supported FPGA boards defined in the 'amaranth-boards' package. 3. Configuration options for the selected board, including setting up I/O pins, clock speeds, and other relevant parameters. 4. Real-time monitoring of the board's status, displaying current voltage levels, temperature readings, and any error messages. 5. Saving and loading configurations for future use. 6. A help section explaining the different components of the application and how to use them effectively. To achieve these goals, you will extensively utilize the 'amaranth-boards' package to define and manipulate the hardware interfaces of various FPGA boards. Specifically, you will use its board and connector definitions to create accurate representations of the chosen FPGA within your application. Additionally, the package will be leveraged to interact with the physical FPGA board, enabling the configuration changes made through the GUI to be applied directly to the hardware. Your final deliverable should be a standalone application capable of running on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, providing a seamless experience for hobbyists and professionals working with FPGAs.
