Getting Started with OPENOCD Using FT2232H Adapter for SWD Debugging

Old MCUs from vendors like ATMEL and MICROCHIP, like the PIC16F and Atmega family, tend to have a special programming interface to program internal flash. For example, Atmega used SPI pins (MISO, MOSI, SCK) and PIC used two pins (PGC, PGD)— one as a clock and another as a bi-directional data line.

Symbi­Flow – open source FPGA tooling for rapid innov­ation

Symbi­Flow – open source FPGA tooling for rapid innov­ation SymbiFlow is a work-in-progress FOSS Verilog-to-Bitstream (end-to-end) FPGA synthesis flow, currently targeting Xilinx 7-Series, Lattice iCE40 and Lattice ECP5 FPGAs. Think of it as the GCC of FPGAs.

Mithro Runs Down Open Source FPGA Toolchains

Tim [Mithro] Ansell has a lot to tell you about the current state of open FPGA tooling: 115 slides in 25 minutes if you’re counting. His SymbiFlow project aims to be the GCC of FPGA toolchains: cross-platform, multi-platform, completely free, and all-encompassing.
