Dockerfiles for xc7 and eos

[smohiudd]

Scripts to download architecture definitions, build docker images and run docker containers:

scripts/docker/download --xc7
scripts/docker/update --xc7
scripts/docker/console --xc7

Hi @smohiudd thanks for this, but I don't think examples repo is the best place to keep the Dockerfiles. Maybe a better place for this PR is https://github.com/hdl/containers?

@kgugala Sounds good, I'll have a look at https://github.com/hdl/containers. Still getting familiar with the Symbiflow structure but where does this issue about docker from Symbiflow/make-env fit into everything?

make-env is a convenient way for a Makefile to build and keep up to date environment to run commands from theake file in. I'm unsure if make-env is used in the symbiflow-examples repository?

make-env should support multiple ways for the environment to be supplied. Currently it is only conda, it would be good to support Docker and other methods too.

FTR, there was a draft PR in hdl/containers about SymbiFlow, opened by @carlosedp in June: hdl/containers#26. I completed it during this weekend (see https://github.com/hdl/containers/pull/26/files) and there are now SymbiFlow containers available, ready to use with the examples in this repo. See https://hdl.github.io/containers/#_symbiflow_conda and https://hdl.github.io/containers/ug/index.html#_symbiflow (note that these URLs might change in the following days/weeks, because the docs are being migrated to Sphinx).

Images from hdl/containers use "latest" arch def tarballs. Related: #223.

Usage example:

:~# git clone https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-examples
...
:~# cd symbiflow-examples

:~/symbiflow-examples# docker run --rm -it \
  -v /$(pwd)://wrk \
  -w //wrk \
  gcr.io/hdl-containers/symbiflow/xc7/a100t
...
root@c3d4dd1d97cc:/wrk# conda activate xc7
...
(xc7) root@c3d4dd1d97cc:/wrk# TARGET="arty_100" make -C xc7/picosoc_demo/
