iCEBreaker development on Windows

1. Get the toolchain (icestudio, nextpnr-ice40, yosys, make, iceprog)

The Fomu project (https://fomu.im/) has a ready-to-use download to be used on Windows. Get it at https://github.com/im-tomu/fomu-toolchain, extract it and add the bin directory to your PATH (details are explained there).

2. Install USB driver

iceprog uses libusb. In order to get it working, you need to enable the correct driver:

  • Download and run the Zadig tool from https://zadig.akeo.ie/
  • Connect the iCEBreaker board to your computer with a USB cable
  • Select Options->List all devices in Zadig
  • Select "iCEBreaker Vx.x (interface 0)" from the drop down
  • Select "libusbK" driver
  • Press "Replace driver"
  • Close Zadig

You are now ready to use your iCEBreaker board. You can skip the WTFpga section on setup, the only thing you need is cloning the WTFpga git repository.
