Thanks for your interest!

Consensus on the #lowRISC IRC channel was that it should be possible
to run a 32-bit RISC-V processor on the icoBoard. FYI, I think the
initial plan for the Debian port is for 64-bit, but IIRC it is blocked
by lack of RISC-V support in upstream toolchain packages
(Linux/qemu/GCC/etc).
The RISC-V community seems to be focussed on non-VHDL/Verilog hardware
description solutions. The main one I've seen mentioned is Chisel,
which is a Scala-based language.

Most of us are on IRC 24x7 and will respond when we are not AFK.
