Only took 10 min on @scaleway's 2.4 GHz Atoms; sadly SMP didn't help. This was with the old source release; new with cache will be slower.

Overall it's not a big entry barrier. The Xilinx toolchain crap is the worst part.

It needs a license key despite being no-cost, gui installer and license key setup, and uses pw-protected 7z files to block installer bypass.

@RichFelker is it as automation-hostile as the Altera tools? I could never figure out how to derive a makefile-driven setup with those... -
@damienmiller The J-core J2 build system is entirely Makefiles. Only installation of ISE seems to be automation-hostile. -
@damienmiller But unless you already know which of the 150+ ISE binaries are the useful (non-IDE-crap) ones, I guess it's hard... -
@damienmiller Studying the J-core source would be a good way to figure that out. :-) -
@RichFelker thanks - I'll take a look the next time I try to use a FPGA for more then self-education
