01:53 <mithro> Hi everyone, we (TimVideos) are just preparing for applying to GSoC - would anyone from Migen/MiSoC who is familiar with the full toolchain have time to mentor a student (probably PhD level) to do bring up of Migen/MiSoc on the miniSpartan6+ and Digilent Atlys board, plus reproducing the HDMI2USB firmware functionality using those tools?

01:54 <mithro> sb0: if you have any suggestions on who would be a good person to poke (I'm assuming you don't have the time) I'd love to chat with them

04:01 <rjo> sb0: what's the problem with building the bitstream?

04:02 <sb0> mithro, maybe Florent Kermarrec, if he's up to it. this will involve sdram, and he knows how to get it to work.

04:02 <sb0> rjo, it's slow, so it takes a while before the results (eg the coverage ones) are available

04:14 <rjo> i can solve that byt running bitstream, bios+runtime and unittests as a matrix in parallel.

04:15 <rjo> i think bitstream is very valuable because it tells you the timing, size, whether it fits etc.

04:15 <rjo> did you turn of the automatic building?

04:18 <sb0> a lot of the commits don't touch the bitstream...

04:18 <sb0> yes, should I leave it on?

04:19 <sb0> it doesn't do much atm as I'm mostly adding things to the GUI and other high level components that don't have unit tests

04:20 <rjo> it is not really "continuous" integration is it is not automatic ;)

04:21 <rjo> let me try doing the bitstream either in parallel (it doesn't hurt imho) or even only if there is a special flag in the commit-message.

04:35 <mithro> sb0: what does Florent Kermarrec go via on IRC?

04:36 <mithro> sb0: have you guys done any work for the Zybo? (Zynq based board from Digilent.)

05:12 <rjo> mithro: _florent_ here, and enjoy-digital on github

14:08 <ysionneau> ah yes, the builder needs to have pygobject installed

14:10 <ysionneau> if it's a debian like system I would suggest something like sudo aptitude install python3-gi

15:33 <sb0> ysionneau, can pygobject be made an optional dependency somehow? we don't need it on the master, for example

15:39 <ysionneau> I think yes

15:40 <ysionneau> maybe instead of having the is os.name == "nt": I can put something like if we_want_gui:

15:40 <ysionneau> I think setuptools has something like "optional features"

15:42 <ysionneau> https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#declaring-extras-optional-features-with-their-own-dependencies < something like that

15:45 <sb0> make it so

15:51 <pampuchy> hi everyone

15:52 <pampuchy> i just learned about mixxeo

15:52 <pampuchy> any videos/samples?

15:52 <ysionneau> sb0: hummm setuptools does not seem to allow saying which optional feature you want from command line :/

15:53 <ysionneau> maybe it will work if one uses pip to install artiq, let me try that...

16:01 <ysionneau> sb0: ok , it seems we can do something like "pip3 install -e ." for normal (no GUI) install, and then "pip3 install -e .[GUI]" for with-GUI install . It will run setup.py ultimately but taking into accounts optional requirements

16:03 <ysionneau> sb0: the downside is, by putting GUI requirements in "extra_require", then the normal "python ./setup.py [--user] install" will not install the GUI, if this is the expected behaviour then it's OK
