There is reputedly an open-source toolchain for the Lattice ICE40, based on reverse-engineering the bitstream:

Industry leaders Xilinx and Altera remain closed as always.

Is the FPGA documented?  Or is it yet another "run this binary-only
(and usually Windows-only) program to get an undocumented blob to feed
