Introduction

The main goal of Apio is to simplify the work with open source FPGAs. All the toolchains needed have been packaged into several apio packages that can be easily installed, in all the platforms, using the apio install command

Each apio package contains all the executable and data files needed into a compressed file (.zip or .tar.gz). These packages are built automatically or manually. Each package is stored in its own repo in the FPGAwars organization
