"The Arduino experience,
for FPGAs."

Write Verilog, click Verify, click Upload. One installer and nothing else to set up: Logix gets the FPGA tools by itself.

The Logix IDE window: a Verilog design in the editor, and the build results below

Three steps from code to hardware.

If you've used the Arduino IDE, you already know how it works. No command line and no setup.

Write

Describe your circuit in Verilog. Mistakes are underlined as you type.

Verify

Check and build the design, and see how much of the FPGA it uses.

Upload

Put it on your board with one click, and watch it run.

Everything you need to start. Nothing in your way.

A small set of obvious actions, made for beginners and pleasant for everyone.

Examples for 100+ boards

Ready-to-run examples, from a blinking LED onwards. Pick your board and go.

Knows your board

Shows when your board is plugged in, and lists connected boards first.

Clear errors

Problems are marked on the line, with links from the output straight to the code.

Testbenches and simulation

Run tests and look at the signals in GTKWave, no board needed.

See your design

A diagram of your modules and signals, one click away.

Self-contained

One installer. The FPGA tools download automatically on the first start.

Take a look.
