How to install the toolchain

Arch Linux

Install the community/iverilog community/gtkwave aur/verilator, aur/yosys-git, aur/arachne-pnr-git and aur/icestorm-git packages.

If you have yaourt installed you can run:

yaourt -S iverilog gtkwave verilator yosys-git arachne-pnr-git icestorm-git

If you don't have permissions to use iceprog your user may need to be added to the group owning the device (e.g. uucp).
