FPGA tools for Homebrew (supplemental)

Formuale for installing FOSS FPGA tools with the Homebrew package manager.

Currently, these are only the formulae not included by Homebrew (& Cask) upstream, likely because they are head-only.

Poorly tested, likely somewhat outdated, these were made public so that I could download them without logging in. Generally the only tests I've done are that the programs compile. Occasionally I also test that the full flows can be completed, though almost always without flashing onto an FPGA.

That said, please feel free to use/improve/find bugs in this code as you see fit. I'm happy to help and fix bugs on a best-effort basis, and if you find this useful, I'd appreciate it if you let me know.

Formulae

  • arachne-pnr
  • icestorm
  • nextpnr-ice40
  • libtrellis
  • nextpnr-ecp5

There might be better names for the icestorm and libtrellis formulae than those I have chosen. Yet another TODO, I suppose.

Formulae TODO:

  • nextpnr-generic
  • Additionally, nextpnr seems to be built based on your chosen FPGA architecture. It might be interesting to try and build a meta-formula for it, or simply try and compile all the binaries together?
  • Programs for people developing the reverse-engineered bitstream formats? This repo is currently only focused on end-users, though, simply because I am an end-user.

TODO: More thorough testing that programs not merely compile but run, and maybe even test that they do their function correctly. Integration tests probably go outside of brew test though?

TODO: Do these work in Linuxbrew?
