| `FOSS Flows For FPGA (F4PGA) <https://f4pga.org>`__ project is a `Workgroup <https://chipsalliance.org/workgroups/>`__ |
| under the `CHIPS Alliance <https://chipsalliance.com/>`__. |
| The F4PGA Workgroup consists of members from different backgrounds, including FPGA vendors |
| (`Xilinx <https://www.xilinx.com/>`__ |
| and `QuickLogic <https://www.quicklogic.com/>`__), |
| industrial users |
| (`Google <https://www.google.com/>`__ |
| and `Antmicro <https://antmicro.com/>`__) |
| and academia |
| (`University of Toronto <https://www.utoronto.ca/>`__), |
| who collaborate to build a more open source and software-driven FPGA ecosystem (IP, tools and workflows) to drive the |
| adoption of FPGAs in existing and new use cases, and eliminate barriers of entry. |
