[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1028137: nextpnr: Support for more FPGA architectures (esp. ECP5)

[Jonathan Neuschäfer]

Source: nextpnr
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

to increase the usefulness of nextpnr in Debian, it would be nice to
package build nextpnr for more FPGA architectures, in addition to iCE40.
ECP5 comes to mind, because it seems to be fairly usable by now.

For ECP5 support, prjtrellis will have to be packaged, similar to the
fpga-icestorm package:
