*** tpb has joined #upy-fpga00:00
shenkijimmo: nice! it works for me00:12
shenkiit felt faster to flash the gateware+bios than it was to load the micropython payload00:12
mithroshenki: How big is the micropython payload00:42
jimmoshenki: woo!! glad it's working :D00:50
shenkimithro: 180732 bytes01:02
shenkijimmo: good work. it's super fast :)01:02
shenkiAttributeError: 'Record' object has no attribute 'd'05:20
shenkimithro: is the sdcard written against an older version of litex?05:20
mithroshenki: Dunno, possibly -- you got the full traceback?05:21

shenkino. it's because i don't have a signal called d05:22
shenkiirc is easier :)05:22
mithroshenki: It's because your mmc object in platform/mimasv2.py doesn't have a 'd' signal :-P05:22

shenkithat's what the sdcard module looks like05:25
shenkii can fix the names05:25
shenkibut should i change the style to match how sdcard does it?05:25
shenkii assume the IOStandard apples to all of the subsignals?05:25
shenkimithro: ^05:31
mithropears!05:48
mithroThe LVCMOS25/LVCMOS33 is set by the voltage level of the FPGA bank05:49
mithroshenki: Yes, outer things apply to the whoe group05:50
mithroshenki: So - what is the question again?05:50
shenkimithro: which style do we prefer?06:06
shenkimithro: also, why does this fail?06:07

shenkithat's all i do06:18
mithroshenki: no - the full code06:18
shenkihow does _ModuleSubmodules work?06:20
shenkinvm, worked it out06:29
mithroshenki: Get anywhere?08:01
shenkimithro: i got a bitstream08:58
shenkiloading it on now08:59
mithroshenki: Cool!09:02
mithroshenki: I should have something else to show you in about 30 minutes09:02
shenkimithro: https://github.com/shenki/opsis-soc/commits/sdcard09:09
tpbTitle: Commits · shenki/opsis-soc · GitHub (at github.com)09:09
shenkii need to write some test software09:09
shenkiand find a sdcard09:09
mithroshenki: Did I give you an Digilent PMOD-USBUART thingy at LCA2017?09:10
shenkimithro: i don't think so09:10
mithroshenki: Okay, I have one here for you then + plus a microsd card09:10
mithrojimmo: is all your rewritten pic stuff pushed?10:06
jimmomithro: on the new-protocol branch, yes. including a prebuilt image10:13
mithroGreat! Enjoy the boating :-)10:13
jimmonot til Saturday :(10:15
jimmoi might as well merge it into master hey, do we care about being backwards compatible with the MimasV2Config uploader?10:17
mithroshenki: run "conda install flterm"10:35
shenkimithro: what did you fix?10:41
shenkiflterm                    0+git20160123_1               0    timvideos10:42
shenkiall packages already installed10:42
mithroshenki: Did it say "Fetching package metadata" ?10:42
shenkiyep10:44
mithroTry again? I wonder if you got an old cached version or something...10:47
shenkisame result10:49
mithroshenki: Does "conda config --show" have "timvideos" under the channels section?10:51
shenkichannels:10:59
shenki  - timvideos10:59
shenki  - defaults10:59
shenkiyup10:59
mithroshenki: If you go to https://anaconda.org/TimVideos/flterm/files do you see the two versions there?10:59
tpbTitle: Files :: Anaconda Cloud (at anaconda.org)10:59
shenkimithro: yes11:05
mithroshenki: Try again maybe? "conda update flterm" ?11:10
shenkimithro: no good11:13
shenkiit's a new conda install from yesterday, as i accidently deleted my entire directory11:13
mithrohrm... It should look like this -> http://pastebin.com/Gbxx4RjV11:14

shenkii removed it and reinstalled, same result11:16
mithroDo you have some type of caching proxy server or something?11:17
shenkinope11:18
mithroI just tested on a totally different machine and its working for me...11:19
mithroand its working on travis11:19
shenkihrm. not sure11:19
shenkiwhat url does it hit?11:19
mithroadd --debug to the command line11:20
shenki$ rm /home/joel/dev/timvideos/mimasv2/build/conda/pkgs/cache/*11:22
shenkithat did the trick :)11:22
shenkiwhat's changed in flterm?11:22
mithroIt works with micropython11:31
shenkinice!11:31
shenkiit does too :)11:32
mithroHopefully I haven't borked anything else11:32

mithro?12:40
shenkiit works :)12:40
mithroshenki: What works?12:40
shenkireading memory12:42
mithroshenki: I would hope reading memory would work - otherwise how would micropython?12:43
mithroshenki: Or am I missing something?12:48
mithrojimmo: btw - just so this is in the IRC logs, This page has some stuff about doing PIC sdcc stuff12:53
mithrojimmo: And getting the interrupt vector / hid bootloader stuff working on that12:53
mithroCould people also proof read https://hdmi2usb.tv/gsoc/fpga/hardware/python/linux/2017/03/15/gsoc-announcement/ ?12:55
shenkimithro: we needed a micropython module to be able to read arbitary memory13:15
shenkimithro: whenever i try to access the sdcard address space the cpu hangs13:15
shenkior maybe it does some kind of hardware abort. but either way it breaks13:15
shenkiamusingly, the sdcard core has a python test script that is designed to be run over the wishbone<->uart debug bridge13:18
shenkibut with micropython, i can run it on the softcore13:19
shenkithis is a pretty cool feature - write test code that works on the software or on a host via the debug interface13:19
mithroshenki: isn't that what ctypes is for? (The read any memory location?)13:20
shenkimithro: sure. i'll use that once you've implemented it for micropython13:22
mithroDone - https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/pyboard/library/uctypes.html13:30
tpbTitle: uctypes – access binary data in a structured way MicroPython 1.8.7 documentation (at docs.micropython.org)13:30
mithroWe should get this working with the VGA output too -> https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/pyboard/library/framebuf.html :-P13:36
tpbTitle: framebuf — Frame buffer manipulation MicroPython 1.8.7 documentation (at docs.micropython.org)13:36
mithroshenki: So, it's likely the wishbone bus is asserting some type of error when you are reading from it?13:38
shenkimithro: i would assume. not sure how to debug it tho13:43
mithroshenki: I would start by using the bridge version without the CPU13:43
mithroshenki: IIRC _florent_ mentioned something about getting it working in verilator - but there doesn't seem to be anything like that in his sdcard_test repo...13:55
mithroIt's kind of weird that the sdcard is both a wishbone master and a wishbone slave... I guess it must do some type of DMA or something?13:58
mithroanyway, bed time for me14:00
