APICULA
Open bitstream tools for Gowin FPGAs
MIT
ABOUT
Gowin FPGA bitstreams used to need a closed vendor compiler. Apicula documents the format and ships pack tools so Yosys and nextpnr program Gowin parts from a fully open flow.
INSTALL
pip install apyculaINTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Pack a nextpnr Gowin place-and-route result into a bitstream
2. Inspect a Gowin bitstream and dump logic tiles and routing
3. Program a Tang Nano or other Gowin board from Yosys and Apicula
4. Combine Apicula with nextpnr-gowin instead of Gowin's IDE
