Hello. I want to know from which repository are the symbiflow tools (symbiflow_synth, symbiflow_pack, etc) generated. Also, I want their documentation. Is enough to point me to the right doc. Are Yosys+nextpnr+icestrom tools, for example, completely replaced by the symbiflow tools? (in this repository, there are only examples of Xilinx and QuickLogic).

Thanks,
Rodrigo

The packages in conda are generated using the repo at https://github.com/SymbiFlow/conda-packages

@rw1nkler - I think this means we need some documentation updates?

Hi @mithro, thanks. In the meantime, are the commands symbiflow_synth, symbiflow_pack, etc, exactly the same as yosys, nextpnr (-ice40 or -ecp5, according to the case), etc? Or are they new binaries with any difference?

@rw1nkler - I think this means we need some documentation updates?

I think that this info is missing, and must be put somewhere at https://symbiflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/toolchain-desc.html
If I understand, I can help :-D I want to add Symbiflow to PyFPGA and add a small tutorial into FOSS for FPGA.
