nextpnr -- a portable FPGA place and route tool

Supported Architectures

  • iCE40

Prequisites

  • CMake 3.3 or later
  • Modern C++11 compiler (clang-format required for development)
  • Qt5 or later (qt5-default for Ubuntu 16.04)
  • Python 3.5 or later, including development libraries (python3-dev for Ubuntu)
  • Boost libraries (libboost-dev or libboost-all-dev for Ubuntu)
  • Icestorm, with chipdbs installed in /usr/local/share/icebox
  • Latest git Yosys is required to synthesise the demo design

Building

  • Use CMake to generate the Makefiles (only needs to be done when CMakeLists.txt changes)
    • For a debug build, run cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .
    • For a debug build with HX1K support only, run cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DICE40_HX1K_ONLY=1 .
    • For a release build, run cmake .
    • Add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/prefix to use a different install prefix to the default /usr/local
  • Use Make to run the build itself
    • For all binary targets, just run make
    • For just the iCE40 CLI&GUI binary, run make nextpnr-ice40
    • For just the iCE40 Python module, run make nextpnrpy_ice40
    • Using too many parallel jobs may lead to out-of-memory issues due to the significant memory needed to build the chipdbs
    • To install nextpnr, run make install

Running

  • To run the CLI binary, just run ./nextpnr-ice40 (you should see command line help)
  • To start the UI, run ./nextpnr-ice40 --gui
  • The Python module is called nextpnrpy_ice40.so. To test it, run PYTHONPATH=. python3 python/python_mod_test.py
  • Run yosys blinky.ys in ice40/ to synthesise the blinky design and produce blinky.json.
  • To place-and-route the blinky using nextpnr, run ./nextpnr-ice40 --hx1k --json ice40/blinky.json --pcf ice40/blinky.pcf --asc blinky.asc

Notes

  • All code is formatted using clang-format according to the style rules in .clang-format (LLVM based with increased indent widths and brace wraps after classes).
  • To automatically format all source code, run make clangformat.
