There's plenty to look at and study, so take your time. Not getting 
overwhelmed and taking it one step at a time is half the battle!

The HDL workflow guide is here:
https://libre-soc.org/HDL_workflow/

Have a look at learning nMigen for getting to know the Python-based HDL 
we use: https://libre-soc.org/docs/learning_nmigen/

For setting up software, please give the dev-env-scripts a look (read 
the script files you plan to use before running them). Using these 
scripts will save much time (and pain).

We run the software inside a Debian 10/Buster chroot (the main system 
can also be Arch Linux, though I stick with Debian). mk-deb-chroot, 
cp-scripts-to-chroot are what you need to prepare a chroot.
