errors · checkdewfpga check, or dewfpga bit / flash before synthesis
ERROR [toolchain-not-installed]: something is missing (the ✗ rows above), so dewfpga bit and flash cannot run. Fix: dewfpga install (safe to re-run; it only builds what is missing).
dewfpga check prints a row per tool and this line when one is missing; dewfpga bit prints the second form and stops before synthesis.
✗ nextpnr-xilinx MISSING
✗ chipdb MISSING

ERROR [toolchain-not-installed]: toolchain not installed: no nextpnr-xilinx or chipdb in /Users/you/fpga. Fix: dewfpga install (status: dewfpga check). https://nosey-dewdrop.github.io/dewfpga/errors/toolchain-not-installed/
Why does it happen?
The install has not run, was interrupted, or put the tools somewhere else (FPGA_HOME set to another folder in that shell).
What is the fix?
dewfpga install
It builds only what is missing (about 12 minutes from nothing). If you installed elsewhere, set FPGA_HOME to that folder.
