This course aims to introduce participants to SymbiFlow, an open-source project that supports multiple FPGAs from various vendors. By the end of the course, learners will understand the concept of converting hardware problems into software problems using FPGAs, be familiar with the current status and future roadmap of SymbiFlow, and learn how to contribute to the project. The course covers topics such as FPGA tooling, Verilog, Python, C++, TCL, XML, and Docker. The teaching method includes presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on projects. This course is intended for individuals interested in FPGA development, open-source hardware, and contributing to the SymbiFlow project.
