OpenFPGA is the first open-source FPGA IP generator with silicon proofs, supporting highly customizable FPGA architectures. It provides a complete EDA flow for customized FPGAs, including Verilog-to-bitstream generation and self-testing verification.

Use cases

• generate FPGA IP cores from custom architecture descriptions
• produce bitstreams for a custom FPGA fabric from Verilog
• prototype and explore new FPGA architectures in research
• run full Verilog-to-bitstream EDA flow for an open-source FPGA
• verify and self-test generated FPGA designs
• build an FPGA-based SoC with a customized fabric

When to choose

• you need to design or research custom FPGA architectures with an open toolchain
• you want silicon-proven, open-source FPGA IP generation
• you need a complete Verilog-to-bitstream flow for a bespoke FPGA
• you are exploring agile hardware prototyping for reconfigurable fabrics

When to avoid

• you only need to program a commercial off-the-shelf FPGA like Xilinx or Intel parts
• you need a general-purpose HDL simulator rather than an FPGA generator
• your project requires vendor-proprietary tooling and support
