Tutorial introduction

OpenFPGA an IP Verilog Generator allowing reliable and fast testing of homogeneous architectures.
Its main goal is to easily and efficiently generated a complete customizable FPGA. It uses a semi-custom design technic.

These tutorials are organized as follow:

• Building the tool and his dependancies
• Launching the flow and understand how it works
• Architecture modification

Folder organization

OpenFPGA repository is organized as follow:

• abc: open source synthesys tool
• ace2: abc extension generating .act files
• vpr7_x2p: sources of modified vpr
• yosys: opensource synthesys tool
• fpga_flow: scripts and dependencies to run the complete flow
