Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install qflow on Kali Linux.
What is qflow
qflow is:
This is a complete tool chain for synthesizing digital circuits starting
from verilog source and ending in physical layout for a specific target
fabrication process. In the world of commercial electronics, digital
synthesis with a target application of a chip design is usually bundled
into large EDA software systems. As commercial electronics designers need
to maintain cutting-edge performance, these commercial toolchains get more
and more expensive, and have largely priced themselves out of all but the
established integrated circuit manufacturers. This leaves an unfortunate
gap where startup companies and small businesses cannot afford to do any
sort of integrated circuit design.
Qflow tries to fill this gap.
