Create a Linux kernel driver to program and debug the Lattice MachXO2 used as routing fabrics in the AXIOM Beta.
Currently the both MachXO2 are 'programmed' with a python script which takes some time and doesn't allow easy update and development for those relatively important FPGAs. A Linux kernel driver would not just speed up things but also allow to test and even debug new code easily.
**Goals:**
- Implement some kind of 'upload' interface (JTAG, I2C, SPI)
- Implement a debug interface (probably JTAG) to interface OpenOCD
**Prerequisites:**
- Lattice FPGA Know-How
- Linux Kernel Know-How
**Difficulty:** Hard
**Mentors:** Bertl

**Notes:** If you do not have access to the required hardware platforms/dev kits, we will provide them (or remote access) to you for the duration of the project.
