* [open-tool-forge/fpga-toolchain](https://github.com/open-tool-forge/fpga-toolchain):
* **yosys** -- synthesis
* **ghdl-yosys-plugin** -- VHDL frontend for Yosys
* **ghdl-yosys-plugin** -- VHDL frontend for *Yosys*
* **nextpnr** -- place-and-route
* **dfu-util** -- upload bitstream to the FPGA
* **python3** -- required for `nextpnr-ice40` and for building litex projects
* Find the list of all tools at [open-tool-forge/fpga-toolchain: Introduction](https://github.com/open-tool-forge/fpga-toolchain#introduction).
* Extras, specific for Fomu:
* **riscv-gcc** -- compile code for RISC-V CPUs, such as the Fomu softcore
* **wishbone-tool** -- access the debug bus on Fomu
* The Windows version includes `make` and `teraterm`.
NOTE: *fpga-toolchain* includes an internal *lib/python3.8* interpreter to be used by *nextpnr*. However, users should install a Python interpreter on their system for using *LiteX* or other Python based hardware description/design tools.
It is strongly recommended that you install `git` for managing repositories and checking out code, though it is not strictly necessary.
