Exists Open Source FPGA Tool Chain?
duskwuff: I do have an answer for you: basically, no. A huge part of the development work done in the FPGA field is in the software - the hardware is comparatively easy.If you're complaining about the quality of the official software (especially for Xilinx or Altera) - you're far from alone. Unfortunately, the open-source alternatives are nowhere near the official tools in terms of functionality.
