# NandLand Go / Alchitry Cu Dev Container

[Dev container](https://containers.dev/) set up for development, synthesis & place and route, and simulation of the [NandLand Go](https://nandland.com/the-go-board/) and [Alchitry Cu](https://alchitry.com/boards/cu) FPGA development boards.

## Tools

- [Yosys](https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys) for synthesis

- [NextPNR](https://github.com/YosysHQ/nextpnr) for place and route

- [Icestorm](https://github.com/YosysHQ/icestorm) for programming the FPGA

- [Icarus Verilog](https://github.com/steveicarus/iverilog) for simulation

- [Cocotb](https://github.com/cocotb/cocotb) for testbenches

## Usage

Open the project in VSCode, open the command palette and select `Dev Containers: Reopen in Container`. This will open the project in a container with all the necessary tools installed and example projects.

### Generate a bitstream file

NandLand Go Board:

```bash

cd projects/chapter02/go

gen_bitstream go . switchtes_to_leds.v

iceprog artifacts/switches_to_leds.bin

```

For the Alchitry Cu:

```bash

cd projects/chapter02/cu

gen_bitstream cu . rst_to_leds.v

iceprog artifacts/rst_to_leds.bin

```

 ### Run a simulation

Testbenches can be run using cocotb and Icarus Verilog which are already installed in the container.

```bash

cd projects/chapter05/and_gate

make

```
