Any FPGA's available yet with an open(ish) toolchain? Including the bitstream generator/programmer?


Yes, there's a fully open stack for the Lattice iCE40s (the largest of which has 7680 LUTs):

I think some people had a full open source toolchain (or were close to it) for some of the Lattice FPGAs, but I think only the really feeble ones that have 10s of LUTs.
