"ischickenafruit 1 year ago You can program with CLI based tools eg make files and so on. But there are no open source compilers for any reasonable sized mainstream FPGAs.

 level 2 suhcoR 1 year ago Well, there is also a Verilog IDE which runs on Linux: https://github.com/rochus-keller/VerilogCreator/blob/master/README.md

And I'm not sure what you mean by "reasonable sized mainstream FPGAs", but there is a full open source toolchain e.g. for Lattice ECP5 and also the Xilinx 7-series will be supported soon. "

Excerpt of Agile values in a nutshell:

"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Responding to change over following a plan.”
