Open-Source Tools for FPGA Development

Explore open-source tools for FPGA development in this 38-minute conference talk by Marek Vašut from DENX Software Engineering. Gain insights into the growing popularity of programmable hardware and the shift towards open-source solutions. Learn about tools like "icestorm," "vtr," "ghdl," and "iverilog," and discover how to use them to create functional designs. Understand the benefits and limitations of these open-source alternatives to proprietary software. Follow the process of implementing such tools and grasp the complexities involved. Delve into topics including FPGA programming, analysis, synthesis, simulation, verification, and visualization. Benefit from Marek's extensive experience in designing customer-specific functionality and his involvement with mainline Linux, U-Boot, and Yocto projects.
