FOSS Flows For FPGA (F4PGA) project is a Workgroup under the CHIPS Alliance. The F4PGA Workgroup consists of members from different backgrounds, including FPGA vendors (Xilinx and QuickLogic), industrial users (Google and Antmicro) and academia (University of Toronto), who collaborate to build a more open source and software-driven FPGA ecosystem (IP, tools and workflows) to drive the adoption of FPGAs in existing and new use cases, and eliminate barriers of entry.
