Contents:

• Dockerfile: to build the basic spinalhdl:spinalhdl image (Note: this file is unmodified clone from SpinalHDL/docker)
• interactive/FPGA.dockerfile: to build a spinalhdl:yosysflow image
• interactive/Interactive.dockerfile: to build a spinalhdl:dev image

The Idea: Have different levels of docker images wich are

• Travis-CI level - image spinalhdl:spinalhdl
• Yosys interactive level, based on Travis-CI level with Yosys workflow for FPGA (without Softcores and firmware dev tools) - image spinalhdl:yosysflow
• IDE level based on Yosys level with IDE for developing SpinalHDL based designs - image spinalhdl:dev

how to build a full featured environment on your linux workstation

docker image build -f Dockerfile -t spinalhdl:spinalhdl

than

cd interactive
docker image build -f FPGA.dockerfile -t spinalhdl:yosysflow

than

docker image build -f Interactive.dockerfile -t spinalhdl:dev

Howto use the images

To use FPGA Workflow only

From a terminal window type:

docker run -it  spinalhdl:yosysflow

this will bring you into a bash shell in user directory /home/spinaldev. You can check if all tools are in place:

ls /usr/local/bin
returns
arachne-pnr     icebox_explain  icemulti      verilator                   yosys
ghdl            icebox_hlc2asc  icepack       verilator_bin               yosys-abc
ghdl1-llvm      icebox_html     icepll        verilator_bin_dbg           yosys-config
icebox.py       icebox_maps     iceprog       verilator_coverage          yosys-filterlib
icebox_asc2hlc  icebox_stat     icetime       verilator_coverage_bin_dbg  yosys-smtbmc
icebox_chipdb   icebox_vlog     iceunpack     verilator_gantt
icebox_colbuf   iceboxdb.py     iverilog      verilator_profcfunc
icebox_diff     icebram         iverilog-vpi  vvp

Installed editors are vim and nano. To keep the image small, no gui tools needing X are installed.
Note that exiting the shell removes the container and all changed or new data is lost!
