So, now that the abits work is published [1] I plan on turning my attention to "connecting the dots", so to speak.
I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'll have to implement PAR by hand (VPR has licensing issues, and there are far more architecture-portable algorithms now anyways [2]). Moving up the stack one more level: are there any open-source synthesis (ie technology mapping) tools out there? How Xilinx-specific is Icarus' mapper? How much effort is it likely to take to retarget it to Atmel CLB's? My first impulse is to start with that, but I figured I'd check here in case anybody has any hints on a better route to take.
