The award-winning OpenFPGA framework is the **first open-source FPGA IP generator** supporting highly-customizable homogeneous FPGA architectures. OpenFPGA provides a full set of EDA support for customized FPGAs, including Verilog-to-bitstream generation and self-testing verification. OpenFPGA opens the door to democratizing FPGA technology and EDA techniques, with agile prototyping approaches and constantly evolving EDA tools for chip designers and researchers.
**If this is the first time you learn OpenFPGA, we strongly recommend you to watch the [introduction video about OpenFPGA](https://youtu.be/ocODUGcYGqo)**
A quick overview of OpenFPGA tools can be found [**here**](https://openfpga.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorials/getting_started/tools/).
We also recommend potential users to checkout the summary of [**technical capabilities**](https://openfpga.readthedocs.io/en/master/overview/tech_highlights/#) before compiling.
Before start, we strongly recommend you to read the required dependencies at [**compilation guidelines**](https://openfpga.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorials/getting_started/compile/).
You can find a set of [tutorials](https://openfpga.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorials/), with which you get familiar with the tool and use OpenFPGA in various purposes.
