FOSS RTL Toools

Homebrew Tap for BluesSpec Verilog, NextPNR, PRJTrellis etc... This started out as a personal project, but its now used in Georgia Tech's computer architecture class, particulary with getting a build of Yosys going on both Homebrew MacOS and LinuxBrew.

Installation

First, install homebrew:

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

Get this tap:

$ brew tap bracketmaster/rtl

Install the tool you want, for example bluespec verilog:

$ brew install bsc

Or install everything - installing nextpnr also installs prjtrellis and icestorm

$ brew install bsc nextpnr

Pre-packaged binaries are available as bottles for MacOS.

On Linux, the tools will be built from source. I hope to provide Linux bottles soon too.

Building Directly From Git Source

You can also build these tools from their githuib source as they all use git VCS.

Example:

$ brew install --HEAD bsc

Changing Into Local Homebrew Clone

Keep forgetting how to do this.

cd `brew --repository bracketmaster/rtl`
