Nitro Bootloader

This is a bootloader meant to allow DFU flashing of both bitstream and other data (such as softcore firmware for instances) on FPGA boards where a couple of the FPGA pins are used to implement USB through a softcore.

Limitations

The current code targets the iCE40 FPGA boards only.

A modified version was already used on the ECP5 for the Hack-a-day badge 2019 supercon but the improvements still need to be integrated here.

If you're interested in porting to other platforms, don't hesistate to contact me.

Instructions

If you are looking for the DFU bootloader for iCE40 based boards, refer to the build process described in the ice40-stub README.
