Hi Homin, JASPER works for SNAP (https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/SNAP_Bringup -- there are instructions to find the repo there, too) -- i.e., you can go from simulink to boffiles. Toolflow support includes all the SNAP-relevant yellow blocks -- tge, software registers, bram, gpio, on-board ADC. Support for external ZDOK ADCs (probably the iADC and ADC5g at first) and 1gbe is forthcoming. All the casper DSP libraries are still supported.
I believe the SKA-SA folks have the flow ~working for SKARAB. Perhaps Adam / Wes have an update. For new hardware, the tricky part is getting support for the software interface. For SNAP this is achieved with a raspberry pi talking to the FPGA over SPI. Replicating this setup on any arbitrary FPGA platform would be relatively straight-forward. For SKARAB, the comms are through the QSFP ports, using a microblaze controller - when integrated properly within the toolflow this should be a much more portable solution. There's probably a little bit of work also needed if you wish to use the flow with an FPGA that has different transceivers to SNAP (kintex 7) or SKARAB (virtex 7), since the existing tge cores might not be immediately compatible.
