  Description     : A Digital Synthesis Flow using Open Source EDA Tools

Qflow is a complete tool chain for synthesizing digital circuits starting
from verilog source and ending in physical layout for a specific target
fabrication process. In the world of commercial electronics, digital synthesis
with a target application of a chip design is usually bundled into large
EDA software systems. As commercial electronics designers need to maintain
cutting-edge performance, these commercial toolchains get more and more expensive,
and have largely priced themselves out of all but the established integrated
circuit manufacturers. This leaves an unfortunate gap where startup companies
and small businesses cannot afford to do any sort of integrated circuit design.
