| alexhw | xobs/mithro: Hi, I worked in the receive pipeline of valentyusb (see https://github.com/xobs/valentyusb/pull/1). This should reduce rx latency by a total of ~8 bit times (5 for filling FIFO, 2 in RxShifter, and 1 by not having an extra register between RxShifter an the output port). | 00:14 |

| xobs | m_w: I wrote fomu-flash because there's a bit of a dance to put the FPGA into reset when you program spi. Or, if you're directly loading a Bitstream into the FPGA, you need to put the spi flash into reset. And fomu-flash supports quad spi. | 05:50 |
| xobs | But the first incarnation was done with flashrom and some bash scripts. | 05:50 |
| xobs | I just ran into an issue with the spidev kernel module where it was ignoring the NO_CS flag, and so flashrom didn't work at all. I think that may have been the Fedora kernel I was using. | 05:51 |

| futarisIRCcloud | about 20 USD for the parts on the BOM. about 19 USD for the PCB... | 06:44 |
| tnt | I just wanted to tell him there shouldn't be current limiting resistor on the RGB led ... | 06:44 |
| tnt | but haven't seen hoim online at the same time as me lately :p | 06:45 |
| keesj | I found flashrom extremely slow | 07:58 |
| keesj | my plan now it to use a tinyfpga-bx and modify the bootloader to use different pins for the programming | 07:59 |
| keesj | I also think it would be very cool to do the same with the litex wishbone bridge + a spi running on the FPGA. that would really be a nice generic solution | 08:00 |
| futarisIRCcloud | You could then use one fomu (or any other fpga board with litex support) to program another fomu ... | 09:06 |
| keesj | I did a little testing using python when following the tutorial and tried to understand a few times how to test the serdes but I still don't quite get it | 09:19 |

| *** stv0g has joined #tomu | 10:38 | |
| tnt | xobs: I had a quick look at alexhw[m] 's patch. Looks good. Definitely should solve most issue wrt to not answering in time. The only case that might still be not compliants is for large clock difference where the host is faster and very long packets, bits will fill up the fifo and increase the response latency. | 10:46 |
| tnt | Mmm ... actually ... there might be an issue with it. | 10:48 |
| tnt | the gating on the write side of the fifo is still needed AFAICT. | 10:49 |
| *** futarisIRCcloud has quit IRC | 11:11 | |
| alexhw[m] | tnt: I don't understand why the write should be gated. It does not make processing any faster and decreases the number of available fifo slots (not critical, fifo size can be increased). Accepting two bits per clock or running in the 48mhz domain would solve the issue completely though. | 12:11 |
| tnt | " decreases the number of available fifo slots" ? Huh ? | 12:17 |
| tnt | Did you read my explanation in the github issue ? | 12:17 |
| tnt | alexhw[m]: ^^ | 12:17 |

| alexhw[m] | tnt: Ok, I got it now. I somehow expected nrzi.o_valid to not be asserted when the bus is idle. This behaviour should be easily achievable though. I will look into it later this day. | 12:51 |
| tnt | alexhw[m]: originally I thought so too, but then I found that the packet detection etc is done in the 12M domain, so nrzi is done continuously (since it has no idea where packets are etc ...). so I added this small 'activity' detector. | 12:53 |
| alexhw[m] | tnt: nrzi still gets the se0, so it can pause valid signal as long as the bus is in idle ('j' ?) | 12:55 |
| tnt | alexhw[m]: yes you could do that. | 12:57 |

| tnt | xobs: the usb hub might be more tolerant of timing violation | 21:19 |
| xobs | tnt: could be, but I don't see _any_ traffic. At least not on the protocol analyzer. | 21:20 |
| tnt | oh. wrong pull up value ? Does the host detect at up something is plugged ? | 21:21 |
| xobs | It does detect that something is plugged. | 21:22 |
| xobs | It's super weird. Not a single byte detected. | 21:23 |

| tnt | scope time :p | 21:24 |
| xobs | For sure. | 21:24 |
| xobs | By the way, I made a small change to the usb debug bridge. I changed the packet to 0x43 rather than 0x40, because for some reason Windows was generating a 0x40 when presented with bcdUSB = 2.10 (which in itself was a bug). | 21:32 |
| xobs | Also, I've created a Rust implementation of devmem2: https://github.com/xobs/wishbone-adapter/tree/master/usb | 21:32 |
| tpb | Title: wishbone-adapter/usb at master · xobs/wishbone-adapter · GitHub (at github.com) | 21:32 |
| xobs | I did it in Rust because of performance, and also because I couldn't figure out how to run pyusb on Windows. | 21:32 |
| xobs | Another reason for changing the "debug packet" magic value to 0x43 is that when I set it back to 0x40 it didn't meet timing. Joy. | 22:16 |
