@pir_at @SilegoTech May replace the $2 power management CPLD with a $0.50 GreenPak if I can get an open toolchain for them working

@pir_at @SilegoTech @oe1cxw Yep. I have a devkit on my desk and two weeks of free evenings during an upcoming business trip.

@pir_at @SilegoTech @oe1cxw Going to start out by making a mapping between bitfiles and in-memory post-PAR netlists.

@pir_at @SilegoTech @oe1cxw Then make a stupid simple PAR. Routing matrix is two crossbars + 10 lines between them. Looks doable w/ min-cut

@pir_at @SilegoTech @oe1cxw Then just need to work with Clifford to handle techmapping in Yosys to make it all work.

@pir_at @SilegoTech @oe1cxw Last missing piece is the programming algorithm, which is not documented. But I imagine I can figure it out

@pir_at @SilegoTech @oe1cxw Worst case I decap a greenpak (50 cents and I have a whole tape of them) and RE the scan chains etc
