It targets a broad spread of boards, cables, and FPGA families from vendors including Xilinx, Altera/Intel, Lattice, Gowin, Efinix, Anlogic, and Cologne Chip. ### Projektgeschichte The openFPGALoader repository was created in September 2019 and the first GitHub release, v0.1, was published in July 2020. Its documentation frames the project as a universal loader that hides vendor- and board-specific programming differences behind one command-line tool. The project grew by adding board, cable, and vendor support rather than by becoming a synthesis or place-and-route framework. Its compatibility pages and vendor notes are central to the project because the practical challenge is recognizing and programming many slightly different JTAG, FTDI, DFU, CMSIS-DAP, and board-level configurations. ### Adoptionsgeschichte openFPGALoader became part of the open FPGA toolchain story because bitstream generation and bitstream loading are separate problems. F4PGA documentation describes it as a universal FPGA programming tool and an alternative to fragmented bitstream-loading tools, and package managers distribute it across Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Alpine, Nix, and other systems. ### Wie es verwendet wird Developers use openFPGALoader after producing a bitstream, selecting a board or cable and then writing the bitstream to SRAM or flash. The Ubuntu man page documents options for board selection, cable selection, device probing, JTAG frequency, DFU mode, bitstream arguments, and flash detection. In practice it is especially useful for labs, teaching, CI benches, and hobbyist workflows where a small command-line programmer is easier to script than a vendor IDE. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren openFPGALoader matters in package catalogs because it is a rare hardware-facing developer tool that can be installed like ordinary software while replacing a mess of vendor-specific programming utilities for many day-to-day FPGA boards. ### Zeitleiste - September 2019: the openFPGALoader GitHub repository was created. - July 2020: v0.1 was published as the first GitHub release. - 2021: releases through v0.5.0 indicate early rapid expansion of supported hardware and workflows. - 2025: v1.1.x releases appear on the GitHub releases page and package-manager metadata. ### Related projects - openFPGALoader is commonly mentioned with F4PGA and other open FPGA tooling, and it overlaps operationally with vendor programmers, OpenOCD-style JTAG tooling, FTDI-based adapters, CMSIS-DAP probes, DirtyJTAG, and board-specific flash utilities. ### Quellen - - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** openfpgaloader - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - openfpgaloader - 0.13.1-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: openfpgaloader from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Universal utility for programming FPGAs | https://github.com/trabucayre/openFPGALoader - Nix - openfpgaloader: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/op/openfpgaloader/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - openfpgaloader - 0.12.0-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: openfpgaloader from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Universal utility for programming FPGAs | https://github.com/trabucayre/openFPGALoader - apk - openfpgaloader - 0.11.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: openfpgaloader from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Universal utility for programming FPGAs | https://github.com/trabucayre/openFPGALoader - pacman - openfpgaloader - 1.1.1-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: openfpgaloader from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Universal utility for programming FPGA | https://github.com/trabucayre/openFPGALoader ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/de/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [libftdi](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libftdi/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://pkg.so/de/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cmake](https://pkg.so/de/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [nextpnr-ice40](https://pkg.so/de/brew/nextpnr-ice40/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fpga, hardware. - [prjtrellis](https://pkg.so/de/brew/prjtrellis/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fpga, hardware. - [sigrok-cli](https://pkg.so/de/brew/sigrok-cli/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, hardware. - [rggen](https://pkg.so/de/brew/rggen/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fpga, hardware. - [open-ocd](https://pkg.so/de/brew/open-ocd/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, embedded, jtag. - [mspdebug](https://pkg.so/de/brew/mspdebug/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, embedded, jtag. - [dtc](https://pkg.so/de/brew/dtc/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, embedded. - [arduino-cli](https://pkg.so/de/brew/arduino-cli/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, embedded. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
