alt Hacker NewsI'm all for your endeavor, but didn't see a device support list on your front page. Clicked the first of 2 links in your sidebar (docs) and got a 404. I'm not saying it's telling that your issues page works when your docs page doesn't, but it's not the foot I would have put forward.
Ha yeah, I agree the website isn't great. I set it up a while ago just so we have something to fill up the void. Right now it's just me and a professor of previously mentioned course who are actively involved in the project, so we've been mostly focused on the technical part.
That said, functionally speaking the extension is 90% of the way there. Synthesis, PnR, simulation, visualization and more all work for ECP5 & iCE40 FPGAs, and to limited extent some others as well. We have a few more features that we're working on, but a very solid basis already exists.
For technical reasons we have a bit of a deadline on finishing the project, which is likely in around ~6-7 months. So by then we intend to have a 1.0 release and very solid documentation out.
