somlodaveshah: I've finally grabbed my other board, and programmed it with the 65MHz rocket bitstream I finished with yesterday afternoon14:31
somlothis board appears to pass memtest without any failures, on a reliable basis14:31
somlowhereas the other board failed about 50% of the times I used the reset switch, but mostly worked reliably when pusing the bitstream anew via openocd14:32
somloso, I'm inclined to assume a manufacturing/tolerance issue14:32
somlonow, out of curiosity, I need to figure out what the slowest clock speed is that I can use on this "better behaved" board :)14:33
somlodaveshah: your "old" picorv32 75MHz bitstream fails both at openocd push and at reset about 4/5 times; the "new" one (second one you gave me yesterday) succeeds 4/5 times14:41
somlomy own rocket bitstream also succeeds almost every time I reset, or push, haven't had it fail on my yet14:42
somlo_florent_, daveshah: on a semi related note, making rocket's mem_axi port 256bit wide, to perfectly match the tellis board, will also cause it to no longer fit on the versa :(14:48
somloso, I'm thinking, leave the standard/linux/full variants as-is for now (full won't fit on the trellis board either, only on the nexys, whose litedram port width is 64)14:48
somloand *add* a new rocket variant, linux-trellis (I'm happy to take suggestions on a better name for the variant :)14:49
somlowith 256bit mem_axi, and a bit more L1 cache (which also won't fit on the versa, but for which there seems to be some room left on the trellisboard)14:50
somloof course, I'll have to wait for the rocket folks to fix the firrtl emitter yosys synthesis bug I found yesterday, before I can officially push an update to litex-rocket-verilog14:51
somlobut, as much as I didn't want to add yet-another-variant, I think it only makes sense...14:51
somlofresh board also mostly stable at 60MHz (one reset memtest failure in about 10 attempts)15:48
somlonow trying at 55MHz (this is with the rocket bitstream)15:48
somlodaveshah: fails memtest consistently at 55MHz16:13
somlobut 60 and up is pretty reliably OK, so given that the "official" number is 75, I wouldn't call it "unreliable"16:14
somlook, now back to fiddling with Linux :)16:15
