FPGA - Windows + MSYS + Git + Python + Iverilog + GTKWave
Many of us in Semiconductors & EDA use Linux by default. There are occasions when you are left with a windows-only setup, say at a coffee shop during a travel. Also some FPGA designers still use Windows machines. Below is a transcript of what it took to get a fresh Windows laptop to be up and running in a UNIX-like setup in 30-minutes or less. Hope you enjoy this blog, please leave extra steps that you had to do in comments. Start with MSYS2: Never be deprived of the power of command-line - even when you are on a Windows machine. Go to: https://www.msys2.org/ Download and install the MSys installer - e.g. https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/2022-06-03/msys2-x86_64-20220603.exe Make sure not to install it under "C:\Program Files..." yada yada..
