> Xilinx and Intel both produce abhorrent FPGA software causing project delays and cancellations of cutting-edge technology dependent on their devices. I feel this pain!!!! Absolutely love the flexibility of Xilinx's System-On-Module architectures but their Software toolchain is arguably the most time-wasting frustrating piece of software I have ever had to work with. We need an open-source LLVM-like toolchain equivalent for FPGA's. I hope AMD has enough muscle to push for this. I would also like to point out that there are projects out there pushing this boundary, David Shah has made amazing contributions towards this, with projects like SymbiFlow and yosys.
