This is the WIP for ice-feather support. Progress so far is

  • IceFeather can be made to work with soft-cpu + micropython by hacking ice-breaker definition with some pin changes
  • IceFeather is recognized as a platform using an environment variable. However the gateware + firmware images built do not boot into a working micropython.

Making this up as I go along, would benefit from a adding new board HOW-TO. The boards is very very similar to icebreaker.
