Just built my first from-source J2 soc fpga bitstream; up til now I've just been working on the sw side of the project.

@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

@RichFelker blurgh. That is a significant annoyance. -
@gnomon Yeah but I managed to deal with it even via remote X from the "cloud instance" I installed on. -
@gnomon Throwing rarcrack/john at the 7z's or just finding the password in the installer executable would make the install scriptable. -
@RichFelker I understand, but I truly hate to encourage or tacitly accept that kind of balderdash. Still; pick your battles, eh? \-: -
@gnomon Yeah. BTW there are other FPGAs (Lattice I think) with fully-free toolchains now, but they're too small for J2 (itself tiny...). -
@RichFelker phooey. But at least they exist. They'll progress, presumably. Thank you for the pointers.
