  • cocotb

    cocotb, a coroutine based cosimulation library for writing VHDL and Verilog testbenches in Python

  • I find it interesting that C/C++ is as high as it is. Python has also had an uptick this year. I’ve seen a few people on this subreddit mention cocotb. I could see that being useful for my current project to visualize data coming from FIR filters.

    A simple script to build open-source FPGA tools.

  • You can get the toolchain up and running with summon-fpga-tools.

  • WorkOS

  • The original PNR used with icestorm was arachne-pnr, but it's being replaced by... nextpnr.

  • fusesoc

    Package manager and build abstraction tool for FPGA/ASIC development

  • I'd recommend looking at fusesoc to automate flows: https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc
