COSCUP x RubyConf TW 2021

The OpenFPGA project and Open-source FPGA IPs

Abstract

In this talk, we will present the OpenFPGA project, which is an open-source framework that automates the cumbersome process in prototyping an FPGA chip. Using the OpenFPGA, the layouts of a 160k-LUT custom FPGA can be generated within 24-hours using standard ASIC design tools, which requires a 18 month development cycle even for FPGA vendors. OpenFPGA has enabled publicly available open-source FPGA chips/IPs, e.g., the Skywater Open-source eFpgAs (SOFA), which are production-ready eFPGA IPs for researchers/engineers to reuse in their SoC designs.
