Tutorial Introduction

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

In order to help you get in touch with the software, we provide few tutorials which are organized as follow:

• Building the tool and his dependencies
• 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
• ace2: abc extension generating activity files (.act)
• vpr7_x2p: sources of modified vpr
• yosys: opensource synthesys tool
• fpga_flow: scripts and dependencies to run the complete flow
