Yes.

It's a little complicated as I did it for a personal project, but I'm also pulling it into Google for my 20% project. It is by FAR easier/faster for me to release under Google's copyright, but there's a bit of "paperwork" I need to go through to get it staged and approved for the Google GitHub.

Since it seems there's interest I'll take a stab at that on Monday. It usually takes a week or two, but no promises. I don't anticipate any blocking issues, though, as the bazel bits don't expose anything about Google.

One caveat -- as released it won't quite be bitwise hermetic, as it depends on an external Xilinx toolchain, and Xilinx does non-hermetic things to their bits that are awkward to work around (you can, but my code to do that is a much less mature shell script full of dd and cat commands to rip apart bitstreams and glue them back together -- I've since found open source tooling for accomplishing the same task, but haven't adopted it yet).

Drop me an email (addr in profile) and I'll tell you when it's up.
