    Learning FPGA, yosys, nextpnr, and RISC-V

  • I've followed this tutorial recently, and it's amazing:

    https://github.com/BrunoLevy/learn-fpga/blob/master/FemtoRV/...

    The author includes detailed instruction for how to build a micro-controller in Verilog on an icestick, starting from a very simple blinker all the way to a functional RISC-V core.

    My other suggestion would be: for most of the toolchain, skip your package manager and directly install the binary artifacts published on this Github repo:

    https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build

    You'll spare yourself a world of pain.
