Apicula
Open source tools for working with Gowin FPGAs, including synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation
Product Information
- Description
- Apicula provides a comprehensive open-source toolchain for developing with Gowin FPGAs, enabling hardware designers to implement digital circuits without proprietary software. The suite includes synthesis tools that convert hardware description language code into logical gate representations, place-and-route functionality that optimizes component placement and interconnections on the FPGA fabric, and bitstream generation that creates the final configuration file for device programming. Key features support the complete workflow from design entry to device programming, offering an alternative to vendor-specific tools while maintaining compatibility with Gowin's FPGA architectures. Primary use cases include academic research, prototyping, and commercial projects where open-source toolchains are preferred for transparency, customization, or cost reduction, particularly benefiting developers working with Gowin's Tang Nano and other FPGA boards.
