Thanks for the info!

I want to use whatever is more professional/industry standard which first getting out of school seemed to be verilog for most places I was looking at. Got a job doing firmware (sort of) and never haven't touched the stuff since except for some playing around hobby stuff. Taught myself atmel because most of the aftermarket technology in automotive uses atmel.

I have an iCE40 board. Their loader tool for Windows was super buggy (threading stuff) I patched it but never submitted a PR. I wonder if they fixed it.
