As far as I know, there's no open source tools to compile FPGA code. It's always device specific. Starting with VHDL/Verilog source (device independent) and an I/O pin-mapping file (per device), you generate a net-list file and then it has to be mapped/routed for the specifc device. Any advice on tools to use or study is most welcome. It seems to be a lengthy process that takes some skill. So developing the binaries to be flashed is a bit outside most users' ability--but flashing from JTAG headers can be accomplished by a few free tools. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
