Hello Ludwig, Hello List.
Thanks Ludwig for your Effort to compile some tools!
I came across the fact, that the Debian family of Distributions has already compiled packages for qflow, which also includes yosys and magic..
IMHO we should have a working tool flow, which allows us to work on our project and others to follow us.
Ludwig, do you like to setup and maintain a (Debian/Mint clone) Live-DVD with all tools already installed tools?
I would vote (at least) for - qflow - yosys - magic - klayout - electric - (lua)latex (while with easier UTF-8 usage!)
all in the latest and greatest version. Plus all stuff we are developing here, like - lsc - popcorn - melmac - ... etc.
Additional (in later versions) I can think about distributing nice documentations not only about the process, but also how-to, cookery books of how to make chips.
A Linux Live-System is obviously the best way to let rubbernecks try out LibreSilicon without the need to struggle through a large installation process.
Someone like to take the task?? Or who has great contacts to package manager for keeping the packages actual?
Best regards, Hagen.
P.S.: the Fedora Spin with Electronic Lab is quite old, was for Fedora 13 I guess..
