Could it be https://symbiflow.github.io/ https://symbiflow.github.io/? Symbiflow aims to be "gcc for FPGAs".
- topspin 6y agoQuickLogic perhaps; 100% open source FPGA+MCU platform. This is probably the video you're thinking of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5GIZUsXb3I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5GIZUsXb3I
- nobodywasishere 6y agoThere's a complete open source toolchain available for ice40 and ecp5 FPGAs from Lattice, for both Verilog and VHDL. I've been using it for almost a year now and it's really good. See github.com/YosysHQ
- snvzz 6y agoInvestigate yosys and nextpnr. They support several families of FPGAs, to varying extents. iCE40 was first. Now there's also full stack support for ECP5, QuickLogic (with manufacturer's help!) and a subset of Xilinx family 7 and GW1N (cheap chinese FPGAs!), among others.
