Toolchain: Support for iceprogduino

[Obijuan]

The OLIMEX iCE40HX1K-EVB board is programed with "iceprogduino" which can be found in https://github.com/OLIMEX/iCE40HX1K-EVB/tree/master/programmer

Iceprogduino is a c-program which comes with a Makefile ("make + sudo make install")

In order to fully support the Olimex board in Apio this programmer should be included as part of the apio packages

Hi Obijuan, I send a merge request to toolchain-icestorm in which i added the script compile_iceprogduino.sh. Does this help?

[Obijuan]

for sure! It will help a lot :-) Thanks!

@x653 iceprogduino hardware.bin sh: iceprogduino: command not found scons: *** [upload] Error 127

Do you know how to fix this?

My temporary solution:

Download the https://github.com/OLIMEX/iCE40HX1K-EVB/tree/master/programmer repo Update the SerialPort in source code Compile cp iceprogduino /usr/local/bin/iceprogduino

then I can use apio upload

iceprogduino is a c-program used to upload the bitstream file to Olimexino fpga board iCE40HX1/8K-EVB connected over an arduino like programmer board (e.g. olimexino-32u4)

To install iceprogduino:

1. clone the repository git clone https://github.com/OLIMEX/iCE40HX1K-EVB.git

2. cd into the direcory cd iCE40HX1K-EVB/programmer/iceprogduino

3. compile and install make sudo make install

4. Run iceprogduino iceprogduino

Hope this helps.

By the way: To use iceprogduino you have to install the firmware onto your programmer board (olimexino-32u4). The firmware can be found in the same repository. Upload with arduino IDE...

@x653 Thanks for your reply. I used the same way as you mentioned. It works now.

iceprogduino is already been included in apio
