15:36 <BryceSchroeder> I got the Linux Litex on VexRiscV demo running on my ArtyA7. Very cool. Thanks again for your collective efforts here!

17:27 <rj> Are https://github.com/RHSResearchLLC/NiteFury-and-LiteFury supported in Symbiflow?

17:31 <tcal> gatecat: status update: I have built a single-LED blinky with yosys/nextpnr-nexus for our LIFCL-17 board, but no signs of life on the board. I even tried driving the LED with const 1'b1 (it's active high, confirmed with a Radiant build), still no luck. If you have any hunches, I can try out different things. If it's useful, I can send you the fasm for the const-1 design. I'm checking if it's possible to get you

17:31 <tcal> hardware.

17:31 <gatecat> yes, the fasm would be useful, as would be the know working .bit from Radiant

17:31 <gatecat> *known working

17:41 <mithro> rj: It isn't currently but it should be pretty easy to get everything part from the PCIe bits...

17:43 <mithro> rj: I think https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs/issues/1800 is solved now?

19:36 <rj> mithro: What's the speedbump around the PCIe stuff?

20:19 <tcal> gatecat: with your fixes --- const1:WORKING blinky:WORKING litex ledchaser:WORKING

20:20 <gatecat> that's good progress!

20:20 <gatecat> thanks for testing

20:20 <tcal> I had to modify blinky source -- the OSC_CORE needed parameter `.HF_OSC_EN("ENABLED")`

20:21 <gatecat> Ah, that can be fixed on the nextpnr side so it is set automatically by default

20:21 <tcal> (I got this from the LiteX Verilog -- happy accident, I accidentally tried the Litex build FIRST, and got a blinking LED)

20:21 <tcal> litex UART not working.

20:24 <gatecat> > litex UART not working.

20:24 <gatecat> can you send the Radiant bitstream for LiteX to compare with ?

20:27 <tcal> Sure, maybe in about an hour

20:27 <gatecat> no problem

20:36 <gatecat> tcal: I've also merged that PR and pushed a couple more small fixes to nextpnr master, so when you next have a chance to try it might be worth trying litex again with that pulled

20:40 <ROHIT> Hi! I am a beginner programmer who wants to gain experience through open sourced projects and gain  I know basics regarding python and C++ but in general I have little to know experience and I only know the very basics that you learn from beginner's textbooks, however, I am more than willing to learn. I probably know too little to start

20:40 <ROHIT> contributing. Can you tell me what I should learn and beyond basic variables and functions to be able to be helpful here?

21:07 <rj> How's the progress with Kintex boards coming along?
