Extension to build and program FPGA using icestorm

Support

Board name	FPGA	Build Method	Program method	Requirements
Alchitry CU	Lattice iCE40-HX8K	yosys/nextpnr	iceprog	yosys, nextpnr, iceprog
TinyFPGA-BX	Lattice iCE40-LP8K	APIO	APIO	APIO
OK-iCE40Pro	Lattice iCE40-UP5K	APIO	APIO	APIO

Commands

• icestorm.createproject (Create new FPGA project)
• icestorm.buildproject (Build the project into bitstream)
• icestorm.programproject (Program the FPGA board)

Path overrides

For users using tools that is not available in the system's default PATH (conda, virtualenv). Please modify the project file to add the path your tools can be located. An example is below:

type: TinyFPGA-BX
buildType: apio
buildTools:
  - apio
programTools:
  - apio
buildDir: build
build: apio build -b TinyFPGA-BX -p source
program: apio upload -b TinyFPGA-BX -p source
path: "/home/xxx/venv/bin/"
projectName: test

Features

• Project creating with template code.
• Building using yosys and nextpnr or APIO
• Programming with iceprog or APIO

Requirements

For Alchitry CU, nextpnr, icestorm and yosys is required.

Known Issues

Only support Alchitry CU, TinyFPGA-BX and OK-iCE40Pro at the moment, I don't have other FPGA board to test, but adding new hardware support should be easy.
