Tutorial for SymbiFlow with embedded RISC-V

Brief explanation

Write a tutorial for getting started with SymbiFlow on an embedded RISC-V CPU on a small FPGA with Zephyr.

Expected results

An easily reproducible tutorial which enables people to work with SymbiFlow on a relatively simple yet useful example system.

Detailed Explanation

SymbiFlow can already work with Zephyr-enabled SoCs like LiteX/VexRiscv. Targeting Lattice iCE40, write a tutorial that lets people compile Zephyr, a bitstream that can run it, and then program an FPGA to see it in practice. As a second track, enable the same software to be run in Renode without modification if someone does not have an FPGA yet wants to work on the software side of things.

Hi, I found "Getting started with embedded RISC-V tutorial" project so interesting I want to participate in it. Although I'm at a beginner level, I'm willing to learn. Kindly provide me with any learning resources needed.

This is literally the use case I was looking for.

I'm a complete FPGA, Riscv and Zephyr noob and don't have any hardware but I've got a project that I think this setup can go far with.

I'll be digging through what I can find about Renode and Zephyr and I'll make sure to makes notes.
