This is first time I used the open source toolchain for FPGA for something real: I converted the VHDL code that was used to make ICEd board to DIPSY tool into verilog, and created new FPGA images with IceStorm and it works, works FIRST time tried:

  1. IceStorm toolchain re-compiled to Windows
  2. Not tested before Verilog code
  3. Constraints taken from IceCube, not changed
  4. from Verilog to BIN with IceStorm
  5. Download with Diamond

Ok, DIPSY FPGA itself is not yet supported by IceStorm, but the ICE family itself is. Nice.
