Programming FPGAs… looking more into this, I imagine there could be complications getting the FPGA programming software running on GNU/Linux. What hardware interface do I even have for programming an FPGA? Is it something like SPI? That would be ideal. Unfortunately, the details remain clouded…
First of all, many FPGAs do not have libre development tools. Only a few libre development tools have been developed through reverse engineering of the simplest of FPGAs, and they are not officially supported by the manufacturer. Worse yet, looks like the osftware may be primarily targeted toward development boards. Okay, okay, something is better than nothing, but maybe this won’t quite be good enough for me to use for an actual project.
