Open Source Ecosystems
Growing diverse
open source ecosystems
From developer toolchains to open silicon, we build the infrastructure and communities that make open source thrive.
What We Do
Open Source Hardware
FPGA architectures and silicon designs built entirely in the open
Developer Toolchains
Cross-compilation with LLVM, Nix, and Zig for reproducible builds
Ecosystem Building
Creating interconnected open source projects that strengthen each other
Packaging & Distribution
Reproducible builds, CI/CD, and packaging that make open source accessible
Community Infrastructure
Tools and platforms that help open source communities thrive
Why Midstall
Open by Default
Ecosystem over Product
Reproducible & Transparent
Community-Driven
Why We Exist
Too much of the technology we depend on is closed source. From silicon design tools to developer infrastructure, entire ecosystems are locked behind proprietary walls - limiting who can inspect, improve, and build on top of them.
Open source changes that. It enables transparency, invites collaboration, and ensures that critical technology isn't controlled by a single vendor. When tools are open, everyone can verify how they work, adapt them to new problems, and contribute back to something larger than themselves.
Midstall exists to build open source alternatives to these closed ecosystems - so that developers, researchers, and companies have real choices built on transparency and collaboration.
