excellent i put that on https://libre-soc.org/HDL_workflow/microwatt/

if you use the gitlab version of nmigen-boards you can follow what
tobias did. remember to press the on-board button at power-up to
get it to go into DFU mode.  it's a one-liner

yeah likewise.

there''s a few PMODs around, one important one is waveshare's 10/100 ETH PHY,
another would be Digilent's VGA. the orangecrab doesn't have a lot of
pins though. under 40.
