Introduction

OSS CAD Suite is a binary software distribution for a number of open source software used in digital logic design. You will find tools for RTL synthesis, formal hardware verification, place & route, FPGA programming, and testing with support for HDLs like Verilog, Migen and Amaranth.

OSS CAD Suite is a component of YosysHQ's Tabby CAD Suite:

See Tabby CAD Datasheet for details on Tabby CAD Suite; see OSS CAD Suite GitHub (this page) for details on OSS CAD Suite.

RTL Synthesis

  • Yosys RTL synthesis with extensive Verilog 2005 support
  • Amaranth refreshed Python toolbox for building complex digital hardware

  • cocotb coroutine based cosimulation library for writing VHDL and Verilog testbenches in Python

Support libraries

  • Python 3 language interpreter is provided in all supported platforms.
  • Python 2 language interpreter is provided in Linux platforms in form of library only.
  • Ubuntu 20.04 distribution development packages are used and shared libraries used are provided in package.
  • macports distribution system for macOS is used to obtain all libraries used, and they are provided in package.
  • MinGW Minimalist GNU for Windows library packages from Fedora 32 are used in compilation and provided in package.

Installation

  1. Download an archive matching your OS from the releases page.
  2. Extract the archive to a location of your choice (for Windows it is recommended that path does not contain spaces)
  3. On macOS to allow execution of quarantined files xattr -d com.apple.quarantine oss-cad-suite-darwin-x64-yyymmdd.tgz on downloaded file, or run: ./activate in extracted location once.
  4. Set the environment as described below.

Linux and macOS

export PATH="<extracted_location>/oss-cad-suite/bin:$PATH"

or

source <extracted_location>/oss-cad-suite/environment

Windows

from existing CMD prompt:
<extracted_location>\oss-cad-suite\environment.bat

to create new CMD prompt:
<extracted_location>\oss-cad-suite\start.bat

NOTE: when environment is set, python3 from package becomes available as well, this enables usage of Migen and Amaranth HDL and LiteX libraries scripts as usual. When OSS CAD Suite is just added in PATH to use packaged python3 use tabbypy3 to start python environment. For Windows, there are no wrappers and using environment.bat is only choice.

Using LiteX

We provide you with Python 3.8 and all required software to be able to use LiteX. After activating environment it is possible to perform installation same as usual:

mkdir -p litex
cd litex
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enjoy-digital/litex/master/litex_setup.py
python3 litex_setup.py init
python3 litex_setup.py install

Supported architectures

linux-x64

Any personal Linux based computer should just work, no additional packages are needed to be installed on system to make OSS CAD Suite working. Distributed libraries are based on Ubuntu 20.04, but everything is packaged in such a way so it can be used on any Linux distribution.

darwin-x64

Any macOS 10.14 or later with Intel CPU should use this distribution package.

darwin-arm64

Any macOS 11.00 or later with M1 CPU should use this distribution package.

windows-x64

This architecture is supported for Windows 10 and 11, but older 64-bit version of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 should work.

linux-arm

ARM based Linux devices such as Raspberry Pi 3, 4 or 400 can use this distribution package.

linux-arm64

ARM64 based Linux devices using 64bit CPU as in Raspberry Pi 4 and 400 (with 64bit version of OS installed), and also laptops like the MNT Reform 2 can use this distribution package.

linux-riscv64

RiscV-64 based Linux devices should use this distribtuion package, but please note that this is currently untested

Contributing

To be able to build OSS CAD Suite yourself need to install docker (please note this only works on x64 platforms) and python 3.6 or higher, with click library.

After that just running ./builder.py should work fine.

To build default build:

./builder.py build 

To skip update of source code you can always:

./builder.py build --no-update

To build specific target and architecture:

./builder.py build --target=yosys --arch=linux-arm64
