| sajattack | is it possible to expose a ps2 keyboard interface instead of a uart one, or do I need to write a converter? | 00:37 |
|---|---|---|
| sajattack | I'm getting pressured to add the MiSTer framework on top of linux-on-litex so more users can play with it | 00:40 |
| sajattack | I have a feeling that's gonna be a bit challenging | 00:41 |
| sajattack | I think I need like a ps2 to uart and a MiSTer-rom-download to uart | 00:42 |
| sajattack | and vga | 00:43 |
| sajattack | but if I can rip out the uart that might be handy | 00:43 |

| levi | I'm working on bringing up a Spartan6-based board with the litex-buildenv environment. I'm having reasonable success, but a couple of things are proving difficult. | 01:15 |
| levi | I've got a vexriscv core booting to the rom prompt, and the sdram boot test passes now. But my spiflash isn't working (it's a spansion S25FL128S) in qspi mode, and the serial port rx side seems flaky, though tx is fine. | 01:17 |

| levi | I just finished looking at some logic analyzer traces of the flash pins, comparing the microblaze/linux bitstream and os in it now vs. what my litex-based bitstream and code are doing. Apparently it works fine in standard SPI mode, since that's what uboot and linux appear to be using, but comparing the litex qspi attempts with the datasheet isn't revealing anything obviously wrong. | 01:21 |
| levi | It turns out the uboot capture I got was reading the device identity, so at least I've confirmed that I've got the right datasheet for my flash part. :) | 01:22 |
| levi | Anyway, the flash device apparently is doing nothing in response to a command 0xEB, which results in reading back 0xEE since it leaves d0 low. | 01:25 |
| levi | I'm going to try falling back to standard SPI for now, but if anyone has any tips as to what might be going wrong with either my QSPI or serial RX, I'd appreciate hearing them. | 01:26 |

| levi | Cool, well, the flash works fine in normal SPI mode anyway. Now to get serial rx and ethernet sorted out. | 02:26 |

| levi | Well, my serial rx problem was apparently tied to the USB serial adapter I was using. And now I have my ethernet hooked up, although it's not working completely yet. | 07:48 |

| Finde | Fei from our team got LiteDRAM working as memory controller for OpenPiton :D | 15:13 |

| Finde | If it gives us the same performance or better for the same area or better then it seems like we should switch from the MIG | 18:25 |
| Finde | so far we're only seeing a very slight change in area. I'm not sure about performance, though | 18:25 |
| Finde | this was on Genesys2 which is a xc7k325t | 18:26 |
| Finde | ideally we'd also have support for A100T in Nexys Video and whatever v7 485t or something is on the vc707 | 18:27 |
| Finde | possibly also the vcu118 eval board and the bittware xupp3r which are vu9p parts | 18:27 |
| Finde | Fei's considering reimplementing his ComputeDRAM using LiteDRAM https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3352460.3358260 | 18:29 |
| _florent_ | Finde: ok thanks, free free getting in touch with me if if you need help or/and want to be sure the resource usage/performance is optimal | 19:05 |
| _florent_ | Finde: are you using the generated version? Or directly integrated with LiteX? | 19:05 |
