please definitely make that 2GBytes of DDR3 -- just measured resident memory utilization in building the rocket-chip for my 5g versa, and yosys needs 1.3Gbytes (nextpnr only needs 540 Mbytes) :)
<somlo>
so if one were to try and build the bitstream on the same machine that's *running* the bitstream, that's approximately how much ram it would need
<Ultrasauce>
that sounds horrible, please do it
<somlo>
and, most importantly -- where do I pre-order one of those boards? :)
<daveshah>
No guarantees this will ever happen
<daveshah>
maybe something over the summer, no time for this right now unfortunately

versa doesn’t have a huge amount of flash either

No, I'm looking at doing some experiments soon with a rootfs on NFS

why have separate hdmi, miniDP, and usb c? if you're going all out why not put hdmi alt mode or DP alt mode on one of the usb c ports?
<bubble_buster>
what I really want to see is the ultimate SBC: just an FPGA, some RAM, some aux components for power/programming/whatever and a USB C port with DP or HDMI alt mode, for programming it would be a device port, when programmed it would be a host port
<bubble_buster>
could connect it to an adapter that breaks out the DP or HDMI and USB A ports which, with the right drivers, could be used for storage, keyboard, bluetooth/wifi/ethernet adapters, audio in/out

bubble_buster: usb c alt modes are negotiated using the PD protocol, which is *very complicated*
<bubble_buster>
not surprised I guess. but I still want it :)
