EDAPack

EDAPack provides portable, pre-built binary packages of open-source EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools. Each package:

• Runs without requiring a local compiler toolchain or library installation.

• Is published as a self-contained release tarball or zip, downloadable directly from GitHub Releases or installable via IVPM (gh-rls source).

• Ships with a bin/ directory that IVPM can automatically prepend to PATH, so tools are available to downstream tasks immediately.

• Integrates with the DV Flow task framework where applicable.

Quick Start

Install from a GitHub Release tarball — download the appropriate asset from the package’s GitHub Releases page, then extract it:

tar xf <package>-manylinux_2_28_x86_64-<version>.tar.gz

The extracted directory contains a bin/ subdirectory you can add to PATH manually, or let IVPM manage it automatically.

Install with IVPM — add a dependency to your ivpm.yaml:

package:
  dep-sets:
    - name: default-dev
      deps:
        - name: yosys-bin        # or verilator-bin, nextpnr-bin, …
          src: gh-rls
          url: https://github.com/EDAPack/yosys-bin

# then run:
ivpm update

IVPM automatically selects the correct platform asset and prepends the package bin/ directory to PATH.
