Just for the record, this package would allow including support for
gowin in guix nextpnr package, see [0], implementing a whole guix
workflow for gowin fpgas.

Sorry, my bad. I assumed pickle files were acceptable for guix, while
clearly they are not.

Now, gowin-eda [1] are proprietary tools, for as much as I know, so I’m
afraid this is a closed path for us, unless I figure out a clean way to
obtain the necessary files under a free license. I’ll take the time to investigate,

Thanks again for your help,

C.
