Hi, I'm Fomu! This workshop covers the basics of Fomu in a top-down approach. We'll start out by learning what Fomu is, how to load software into Fomu, how to write software for Fomu and finally how to write hardware for Fomu.

FPGAs are complex, weird things, so we'll take a gentle approach and start out by treating it like a Python interpreter first, and gradually peel away layers until we're writing our own hardware registers. You can take a break at any time and explore! Stop when you feel the concepts are too unfamiliar, or plough on and dig deep into the world of hardware.
