Welcome to Icestudio Documentation wiki!

Digital Design for OpenSource FPGAs made easy: icestudio.io

Introduction

Icestudio is a design tool focused on new comers to the FPGA world

  • Step 1: Draw your circuit

  • Step 2: Upload it to your favorite OpenSource FPGA board

  • Step 3: Done! 😀️

Icestudio generates Verilog files from your visual circuits, build the Bitstream automatically and upload it to your FPGA board. This process is done using only Opensource Tools (Thanks to the Symbiflow project)

Getting Started

Collections

The Collections contain blocks and examples. They can be created, added or removed. By default, there is only one collection available when Icestudio is first installed: The default collection. It contains basic examples and basic components like logic gates, multiplexers and so on

There are much more collections available that you can install easilly. The stable collections have been translated into English and the documentation is available on the wiki. The development collections are a work in progress and their blocks can be completely redesign
