Take a look at VTR (formerly VPR): http://code.google.com/p/vtr-verilog-to-routing/. It's an academically developed tool for doing FPGA place and route. At the end of the day, you'll still need to use the proprietary tools to convert to the appropriate bitstream, but this an open source solution for the "heavy lifting" portion. However, last I checked the solutions produced by VPR aren't as good as the commercial tools. |

Well, that's no surprise: FPGA vendors spend a lot of manpower on improving their Place&Route software. If you wanted to build something competitive, you'd need a lot of money plus access to proprietary, non-public, information.
