docker run dimdm/icetools icepack -h
```

## Install locally (brew || sudo apt-get)

```

## Supported Devkits

- [icoBoard](https://shop.trenz-electronic.de/en/TE0887-02M-icoBoard-Version-1.1-with-8-MBit-SRAM)
- [iCEstick](http://www.latticesemi.com/icestick)

## Issues

`iceprog` is not supported in docker and should be installed locally using `./icestorm.sh` which kind of defeats the purpose.

### OS X

To unload the default and vendor drivers in case `iceprog` refuses to connect:
```
sudo kextunload -v -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
sudo kextunload -v -b com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver
```

Reload with
```
sudo kextload -v -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
sudo kextload -v -b com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver
```
