Full release notes:
https://github.com/trabucayre/openFPGALoader/releases/tag/v1.1.0
Fully #freesoftware based support for GateMate FPGAs from Cologne Chip [0] just landed in #guix.
It includes #yosys for synthesis, #openFPGALoader for device flashing and #nextpnr for placement and routing.
guix shell -C -m manifest.scm -- make
The whole toolchain runs in a #sourcehut #ci pipeline.

@guix Other than as package manager on top of #archlinux, Iām using #guix for electronics design, mostly #vhdl and #fpga related stuff.
I run simulations with help of #hdlmake using #ghdl compiler, #osvvm for verification, #cocotb for testbenches, #yosys for synthesis, #nextpnr for placement and routing and #openFPGALoader for flashing. Finally, I use my own Guix channel to package gateware and run #ci tests on #sourcehut Guix image. A demo toy example of this runs here
