<p><a class="reference external" href="https://f4pga.org">FOSS Flows For FPGA (F4PGA)</a> project is a <a class="reference external" href="https://chipsalliance.org/workgroups/">Workgroup</a>
under the <a class="reference external" href="https://chipsalliance.com/">CHIPS Alliance</a>.
The F4PGA Workgroup consists of members from different backgrounds, including FPGA vendors
(<a class="reference external" href="https://www.xilinx.com/">Xilinx</a>
and <a class="reference external" href="https://www.quicklogic.com/">QuickLogic</a>),
industrial users
(<a class="reference external" href="https://www.google.com/">Google</a>
and <a class="reference external" href="https://antmicro.com/">Antmicro</a>)
and academia
(<a class="reference external" href="https://www.utoronto.ca/">University of Toronto</a>),
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.</p>
