Introduction

Icestudio is a design tool focused on new comers to the FPGA world

• Step 1: Draw your circuit

• Step 2: Upload it to your favorite OpenSource FPGA board

• Step 3: Done! 😀️

Contribute!

If you need to add packages to package.json main npm file, update it in package.json5 (comments supported), changes in package.json will be overwritted.

Add or update the app translations using Poedit.

Developer note:

• use npm run preptext before doing translation editing: this extracts the labels from the codebase to update template file template.pot; it also runs scripts/update_translations.sh, to update the existing *.po language files so they are synched to the template
• use npm run compiletext to regenerate the *.json language files (these are what the IDE really needs) to test them

Developer note:

• for Windows, use npm config set script-shell "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe" or equivalent so the postinstall script can run during npm install
• for Windows, if commands msgmerge, msgfmt are not found while executing update_translations.sh, then they weren't installed with MSYS2/Git Bash; a Windows binary installer for GNU gettext utils will take care of this: https://mlocati.github.io/articles/gettext-iconv-windows.html; download the "static" flavor for 64bit Windows; include it in PATH (done in an install step)
