Lofty: well, I was quite interested by the "going to bed" alternative ;-)
<
Lofty>
Well that's unusable on mobile :P
<
gatecat>
lol, those names look a lot like they were derived from HDL source
<
Sarayan>
they come from the _model.ddb files, some reduced in length (see xxx-names.txt for the actual table)
<
Sarayan>
that's why it's in the non-public repository
<
Sarayan>
that's the blocks from the point of view of the timings models
<
Lofty>
Interesting to note
<
yorick>
Sarayan: ever looked at my crashing rbf?
<
yorick>
also, we can donate a de0-nano-soc if it'd help
<
Sarayan>
yorick: I haven't yet, can you remind me?

<
Sarayan>
you're sure of your model?
<
Sarayan>
the low byte of your idcode is 0x01, which sx120f is 0x02
<
Sarayan>
(I haven't found where the high byte is yet...)
<
Sarayan>
it works with 5CSEMA4U23C6 (sx50f)
<
yorick>
set_global_assignment -name DEVICE 5CSEMA4U23C6
<
yorick>
sorry for wasting your time
<
Sarayan>
that's ok :-)
<
Sarayan>
is it code you have the source for?
<
yorick>
but it uses qsys for a bunch of shared memory and an avalon uart+i2c bridge
<
Sarayan>
are you actually using a clock coming from the arm?
<
Sarayan>
I'm seeing s HPS_CLOCKS.031.060:RIGHT_CLOCK_SEL.0 2
<
Sarayan>
and wondering if it's right or another fuckup :-)
<
Sarayan>
especially since it's using weird bits in the firmware
<
Sarayan>
and you're using one dsp, that's cool :-)
<
Lofty>
No "(and hopefully)" about nextpnr anymore :3
<
Sarayan>
gatecat is doing a nice job
<
Sarayan>
I wonder if there's a not too expensive, cyclonev pcie card
<
Sarayan>
hmmm, looks like terasic is down
<
gatecat>
It'd certainly be nice if there was a not too expensive way of getting the 300k device
<
gatecat>
the '9' device, I think it is
<
gatecat>
301k LEs or whatever
<
Sarayan>
ah, the gt300
<
Sarayan>
it's not required for pcie, but otoh it seems to be the only one with a devboard with pcie
<
Sarayan>
urgh that crap is so fucking complicated
<
Sarayan>
urrrrrrrrrrrrrgh
<
chipb>
Sarayan: speaking also as a not-spokesperson, I also feel compelled to point out that sense often doesn't match corporate reality.
<
Sarayan>
chipb: That very true
<
chipb>
hm. I suppose you're interested in exercising pcie with the tranceivers moreso than pcie-attached formfactor for application?
<
Lofty>
Well, having PCIe transceivers and not being able to check if they work is a bit annoying.
<
Lofty>
Having MLABs and them appearing to be broken in a subtle way is also quite annoying
<
gatecat>
have we got a similar graph for the MLAB as the LAB one you linked, Sarayan ?
<
gatecat>
it would be interesting to diff the two, if we can filter out the MLAB-specific stuff
<
gatecat>
I don't think Cyclone V has the clock borrowing, but as it's 28nm too other stuff might be similar
<
chipb>
ugh. I really think you might need to byob for a reasonably priced pcie-capable cv kit.
<
gatecat>
or just wait for good luck on eBay
<
chipb>
oh, I guess that too.
<
gatecat>
I got a ridiculous deal on two Nallatech 510Ts (two Arria 10 GX1150s each)
<
gatecat>
unfortunately, BittWare doesn't provide docs to second hand purchasers
<
chipb>
cyclone v pcie is in an odd niche.
<
gatecat>
so I haven't actually done anything with them other than a JTAG scan (which did at least work) so far
<
gatecat>
the Cyclone V with PCIe devkits on eBay are a lot less of a good deal tho :/
<
chipb>
huh. I do see an arria v gx kit going for $500 USD buy it now.
<
gatecat>
there are also the Microsoft cards available cheap
<
chipb>
not cheap, but perhaps of interest.
<
chipb>
...microsoft cards?
<
gatecat>
afaik some people have done some RE on them
<
chipb>
that one's almost certainly an A10.
<
chipb>
unclear to me how it ended up on the public market.
<
gatecat>
I think that one's a S5, but there are others with A10
<
gatecat>
mmm, there a quite a few in circulation now...
<
chipb>
oh. S5 would make sense too.
<
chipb>
that's pretty cool.
