| peepsalot | hi, i'm just starting to learn about litex/migen and curious about how to develop new soft cpu cores. are there currently any fine grained reusable modules that are shared across architectures? i guess I'm picturing some config that defines supported opcodes, and can generate an instruction decoder, modules to define ALUs of various widths and capabilities, L1cache modules etc. | 01:17 |
|---|---|---|
| peepsalot | i'm also a software dev by trade, and not familiar with HDL yet so this project looks great to me. i've been loath to learn Verilog directly so far as its so ugly | 01:22 |
| *** gregdavill has joined #litex | 01:36 | |
| gregdavill | I'm wanting to add a clock domain crossing to ValentyUSB eptri. It currently needs to run in a 12MHz clock domain for the USB side. | 01:39 |
| gregdavill | I want to run my SoC at 48MHz+ and trying to work out the best way/place to add cdc elements. | 01:40 |
| gregdavill | Its interface with the SoC is entirely though CSRs. | 01:41 |
| gregdavill | Is there an easy way to do this? | 01:42 |
| gregdavill | I'm thinking of wrapping the CSRs and using a Async FIFO with address/data/re/we signals. I think this will satisfy the CSR bus cycle. | 01:46 |
| gregdavill | that seems like a better plan than keeping the CSRs in the SoC and breaking out each signal through a separate cdc element to the lower speed domain. | 01:47 |
| peepsalot | why is there a litex-boards repository which is separate from https://github.com/m-labs/migen/tree/master/migen/build/platforms shouldn't they ideally be in sync? | 02:12 |

| peepsalot | i saw that de10nano was added for litex, but not migen | 02:13 |
| sajattack[m] | I added the de10nano to litex because it's what I was using | 02:27 |
| sajattack[m] | if you want to copy it over somewhere else go right ahead | 02:28 |
| peepsalot | oh, hi sajattack[m], i found this from atari-forums litex linux thread btw :) | 02:32 |
| sajattack[m] | cool | 02:33 |
| sajattack[m] | I'm not sure how a litex board definition differs from a migen one | 02:34 |
| sajattack[m] | I've only ever used migen in the context of litex | 02:34 |
| peepsalot | i'm sort of curious about developing other MiSTer cores using litex/migen | 02:34 |
| sajattack[m] | It can be done, but it's probably not how I'd go about doing things | 02:35 |
| sajattack[m] | because all the core MiSTer tooling is systemverilog, and the verilog output from litex is pretty ugly | 02:35 |
| sajattack[m] | I'm using litex because it's the only way I could figure out how to get a functioning risc-v soc | 02:36 |
| sajattack[m] | verilog's not so hard | 02:40 |
| sajattack[m] | I got my start with this book https://www.amazon.ca/Designing-Video-Game-Hardware-Verilog-ebook/dp/B07LD48CTV/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= | 02:41 |

| levi | This book is a pretty straightforward intro to doing FPGA stuff with Verilog too: https://www.amazon.com/FPGA-Prototyping-Verilog-Examples-Spartan-3/dp/0470185325 The FPGA it targets is pretty outdated now, but most of it transfers pretty well to other dev boards. | 03:43 |

| futarisIRCcloud | Hi gregdavill. | 04:01 |
| gregdavill | futarisIRCcloud: https://twitter.com/pdp7/status/1232794004409942018 | 04:06 |
| gregdavill | I guess a standard USB PHY with ULPI takes up too many signals for a single PMOD, the SPI based approach is nice. | 04:07 |
| futarisIRCcloud | I've got some USB-C PMODs from kbeckmann ... | 04:07 |
| futarisIRCcloud | The Arduino shield I linked to in 2018 should also work with Arty. | 04:10 |
| mithro | gregdavill: valentyusb already has CDC stuff unless xobs deleted it? | 04:15 |
| xobs | mithro: there's no CDC stuff in valentyusb. If you use tinyusb, you can have cdc support with eptri. | 04:17 |
| xobs | Jamie Craig (madhacker) was working on getting it working as part of a 6502 project, however: https://github.com/jamesacraig/6502-on-fomu/blob/master/fomu_usb_cdc.py | 04:17 |
| tpb | Title: 6502-on-fomu/fomu_usb_cdc.py at master · jamesacraig/6502-on-fomu · GitHub (at github.com) | 04:17 |
| gregdavill | Does it? in eptri? I only saw a 'cdc' boolean, that gets passed into the debug bridge. The CSRs and FIFOs look like they always live in the 12MHz domain. | 04:17 |
| gregdavill | I'm attempting to get CircuitPython running. Ideally I want to run it from the SDRAM. But I can't get enumeration, because I think the fetch time in SDRAM is too slow. | 04:19 |
| gregdavill | I think xobs 'solved' this on the Fomu, by moving all time critical stuff into a blockram fro execution. | 04:19 |
| xobs | Oh! Right, CDC. Overloaded acronym. Sorry. | 04:20 |
| mithro | Ahh, only all the *other* interfaces than eptri have CDC | 04:20 |
| xobs | I thought you meant cdc_acm. You mean clock domain crossing. | 04:20 |
| xobs | Right, I wasn't sure how to get cdc working with eptri. That's a longstanding issue. dummyusb has cdc which does, in fact, work correctly. | 04:20 |
| mithro | Yes, clock domain crossing | 04:20 |
| mithro | Just use a FIFO with one end in sys and one end in usb_12 | 04:21 |
| mithro | epfifo has an example | 04:22 |
| gregdavill | Okay, I'll have to take a look through the other valentyusb.cpu interfaces, thanks! | 04:23 |
| futarisIRCcloud | CDC = Centres for Disease Control / USB Communications Device Class / Clock Domain Crossing | 04:23 |
| futarisIRCcloud | TLA are not confusing at all. | 04:24 |
| mithro | If you clocks are aligned, you have an even easier time | 04:24 |
| mithro | The fact that flipflops in an FPGA have setup + hold times which (have to) meet your fast clock mean you only need to worry about metastability from clock phase | 04:27 |
| mithro | Another option is to just use a clock-enable strobe | 04:27 |
| gregdavill | Ohh, so the usb_12 is actually clocked at 48, but only has a CE pulse every 4th clock. | 04:30 |
| *** litex-questions has quit IRC | 04:30 | |
| gregdavill | That might work well on the ECP5, since it easily meets timing. and it's trivial to setup with a `CEInserter()` | 04:31 |
| mithro | If I recall correctly the capture frontend uses a 48MHz clock with a recovered strobe at 12MHz... | 04:31 |
| mithro | Snap :-P | 04:31 |
| mithro | Writing on my phone while I walk home is slow | 04:32 |
| gregdavill | FYI, I did implement a hardware based USB Communication Device Class. Very much a work in progress, but it's a statemachine that captures the CSR registers and sits behind eptri. | 04:37 |

| sajattack[m] | peepsalot if you want I can send you my de10nano build | 10:35 |
| sajattack[m] | You'll need an ftdi cable though | 10:36 |
| peepsalot | sajattack[m]: sure that could be helpful, though i'm also wanting to learn/setup the tools properly. | 10:39 |
| peepsalot | by build you mean like rbf + linux image? where does the linux image go if there's no sd support? its loaded straight to sdram via serial? | 10:39 |
| sajattack[m] | I think your issue might be a non-recursive clone, not sure | 10:39 |
| sajattack[m] | Yes loaded straight over serial via ftdi | 10:40 |
| peepsalot | ok, i think i have one around here somewhere, there's nothing altera specific about the connection device, right? | 10:41 |
| sajattack[m] | no | 10:41 |
| sajattack[m] | just plug into the arduino rx/tx and the pin next to it is grounded | 10:41 |
| sajattack[m] | I think I have to recompile my image, I've been messing with some stuff | 10:42 |
| sajattack[m] | it's the last 3 pins not covered by the io board | 10:43 |
| peepsalot | i have a cp2102 | 10:45 |
| sajattack[m] | that should work | 10:46 |
| sajattack[m] | you also need quartus to flash the rbf | 10:46 |
| peepsalot | i forget if its 5 or 3.3v, or configurable somehow. haven't messed with it in a while | 10:47 |
| sajattack[m] | yeah make sure it's 3.3v | 10:47 |
| peepsalot | i have quartus 19.1 installed, tried getting 17.x setup but it wasn't working on ubuntu | 10:47 |
| sajattack[m] | It shouldn't matter, you only need the programmer part and I think it's the same | 10:48 |
| sajattack[m] | gimme a sec to unfuck the stuff I've been messing with | 10:52 |
| peepsalot | yeah looks like its 3.3v data only on the cp2102. i was a little confused because the board have a breakout pin for 5v and 3.3v, but that's just passing the usb rail through | 10:54 |

| sajattack[m] | oops | 13:44 |
| sajattack[m] | haha | 13:44 |
| peepsalot | is it not feasible to integrate with the onboard ddr3? | 13:45 |
| sajattack[m] | it's difficult because the hps interface is in the way | 13:45 |
| sajattack[m] | litex doesn't have any knowledge of the hps | 13:45 |
| peepsalot | ok, yeah i know it has to go through hps somehow, but i still don't really understand the details of how that works. isn't the hps over avalon bus, which litex knows about? | 13:49 |
| sajattack[m] | tbh idk | 13:49 |
| sajattack[m] | if you figure it out, send a pr :P | 13:50 |
| _florent_ | peepsalot, sajattack[m] : do you have a link to the MiSTer verilog/VHDL code that integrate the HPS? just to have a look at the interfaces. | 14:05 |
| peepsalot | don't really know which cores/where its used exactly | 14:05 |
| sajattack[m] | I'll have a look | 14:06 |
| peepsalot | it might be a drop in intel IP | 14:06 |

| tpb | Title: Genesis_MiSTer/ddr_svc.sv at master · MiSTer-devel/Genesis_MiSTer · GitHub (at github.com) | 14:09 |
| _florent_ | is there a common verilog/VHDL code that each MiSTer FPGA core reuses? or does each core create a full FPGA image? | 14:10 |
| _florent_ | sajattack[m]: thanks, i'm going to look | 14:10 |
| sajattack[m] | the sys folder is common to each core pretty much | 14:10 |

| _florent_ | sajattack[m]: the easier would probably be to create a LiteX platform with a similar pinout than the emu Module: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Core-porting-notes | 14:27 |
| tpb | Title: Core porting notes · MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer Wiki · GitHub (at github.com) | 14:27 |
| _florent_ | sajattack[m]: and then reuse theses interfaces to communicate with the ARM or DDR3 | 14:27 |
| _florent_ | these | 14:27 |
| sajattack[m] | yeah I was planning to stick it in the emu module eventually | 14:27 |
| sajattack[m] | but how do I get litex to generate the right signals? | 14:28 |
| _florent_ | i can create a template for that | 14:30 |
| sajattack[m] | ok thanks | 14:30 |
| sajattack[m] | could you do something with litesdcard too or not ready yet? | 14:31 |
| _florent_ | to create a standalone litesdcard core? | 14:31 |
| sajattack[m] | instead of serialboot | 14:32 |
| sajattack[m] | that wiki might be a bit out of date, I think there are sdcard signals too | 14:33 |
| sajattack[m] | oh actually I forgot, there's two sdcards | 14:34 |
| sajattack[m] | one with standard sdcard signals on the io board, and one with ioctl | 14:34 |
| sajattack[m] | https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Genesis_MiSTer/blob/e0b367749da88836c226c6a269e09b6aa363497b/Genesis.sv#L76 | 14:34 |

| tpb | Title: BBCMicro_MiSTer/sd_card.v at master · MiSTer-devel/BBCMicro_MiSTer · GitHub (at github.com) | 14:39 |
| sajattack[m] | so ideally I'd like that | 14:41 |
| _florent_ | For generating the emu core with LiteX, you could use this as a template: https://hastebin.com/jatekurefo.py | 14:41 |
| _florent_ | this will generate a core like this: https://hastebin.com/xapogesado.php | 14:41 |
| sajattack[m] | ok, sorry, how does that fit in with litedram though? | 14:43 |
| sajattack[m] | I can map litex to emu by hand | 14:48 |
| _florent_ | this will just allow you to create a LiteX SoC inside the EMU framework of MiSTer, you then have to reuse the interfaces already provided by the EMU framework | 14:48 |
| sajattack[m] | sorry, my question is, how do I get litedram to give me signals for the mister interface? does it already have similar ones? | 14:49 |
| _florent_ | the interface in the EMU framework for the SDRAM is a simplified interface, so no need for LiteDRAM, it can probably be easily connected to the wishbone bus | 14:51 |
| sajattack[m] | if I look at another core with ddr, the signals lok different | 14:51 |
| sajattack[m] | ok | 14:51 |

| sajattack[m] | generated verilog | 15:00 |
| sajattack[m] | or line 16 | 15:00 |
| _florent_ | not directly, you will need to understand the protocol used for the SDRAM interface on MiSTer, how wishbone works and create a bridge between both | 15:01 |
| sajattack[m] | ok | 15:02 |
| _florent_ | like for example the Wishbone2CSR bridge: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/master/litex/soc/interconnect/wishbone2csr.py | 15:02 |

| sajattack[m] | I got some reading to do 😅 | 15:03 |
| sajattack[m] | ok I read all the things | 15:54 |
| somlo | _florent_: it just occurred to me (after a week of doing *completely* different things) to actually ask you: what brand of microSD card have you used successfully with liteSDCard on nexys4ddr? :) | 15:57 |
| sajattack[m] | _florent_: could you show me where litedram bridges to wishbone so I can get a better idea of what it looks like for a memory interface? | 15:58 |
| somlo | should have asked a week ago, and ordered the *right* one, and done things in parallel, but that's usually not how it works out for me... | 15:59 |
| somlo | sajattack[m]: I think you're looking for this block: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/master/litex/soc/integration/soc.py#L981 (but _florent_ can correct me if I'm wrong) | 16:01 |
| tpb | Title: litex/soc.py at master · enjoy-digital/litex · GitHub (at github.com) | 16:01 |
| sajattack[m] | I think this is what I was looking for actually https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litedram/blob/master/litedram/frontend/wishbone.py | 16:10 |
| tpb | Title: litedram/wishbone.py at master · enjoy-digital/litedram · GitHub (at github.com) | 16:10 |
| somlo | oh, that's how you get litedram to expose a wishbone port; I thought you're looking for where it hooks into the litex SoC -- but yeah... | 16:14 |
| sajattack[m] | yeah, I'll need to do both, so thanks | 16:16 |
| sajattack[m] | would anyone have any ideas why when I change my system clock from 50MHz to 100MHz, linux fails to boot | 16:43 |
| daveshah | Does memtest pass? | 16:47 |
| sajattack[m] | good thought, I'll check | 16:47 |
| daveshah | If not, the SDRAM clock phase might need changing | 16:47 |
| sajattack[m] | ok | 16:48 |
| sajattack[m] | it's phase shifted -10000 for 50MHz, do I just double it or something? | 16:48 |
| daveshah | Halve it | 16:49 |
| daveshah | I'm assuming 10000=10ns=half cycle at 50MHz | 16:49 |
| sajattack[m] | ok | 16:49 |
| daveshah | It might need finer tuning than that though, idk | 16:49 |
| sajattack[m] | let's find out | 16:49 |
| sajattack[m] | yeah, looks like it needs fine tuning | 16:57 |
| sajattack[m] | maybe I'll find something in altera and bring it over | 17:01 |
| sajattack[m] | the random msiter core I picked out isn't doing any phase shifting for sdram | 17:05 |
| sajattack[m] | or maybe it's doing it within the controller rather than the pll | 17:09 |
| Claude | this will be my weekend :) first trying to get yosis/nextpnr running on the pi . then maybe some DVI/hdmi fun https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/JXlXbYwe/IMG_20200228_175426.jpg | 17:09 |
| sajattack[m] | neat | 17:10 |
| sajattack[m] | are you bitbanging jtag on the pi or something? | 17:10 |
| Claude | Yes that's the plan , openocd on pi gpio | 17:11 |
| Claude | Later (probably very very later..) I try myself on a migen/LiteX raspi SMI (parallel bus master peripheral) to some wishbone master | 17:13 |

| _florent_ | Claude: nice! | 17:58 |
| sajattack[m] | I can't find a working phase shift for 100mhz | 18:03 |

| _florent_ | sajattack[m]: not sure i tested sdram at this frequency, i would need to do some tests on hardware to help | 18:31 |
| sajattack[m] | it tests up to 150MHz on MiSTer | 18:32 |
| *** lambda has joined #litex | 18:32 | |
| _florent_ | do you have a link to the sdram controller used on MiSTer? | 18:32 |
| sajattack[m] | it varies by core I think | 18:33 |
| sajattack[m] | here's their memtest https://github.com/mister-devel/memtest_mister | 18:37 |

| _florent_ | i just tested 100MHz on the De0Nano and got it working with this: https://hastebin.com/apovofubof.rb | 18:42 |
| sajattack[m] | oh? two phase shift values? | 18:43 |
| sajattack[m] | oh it's a diff | 18:44 |
| sajattack[m] | haha | 18:44 |
| sajattack[m] | yeah I tried -5000 already | 18:44 |
| * sajattack[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/KedFrEgmyjUabMjUMnorpEKH > | 18:49 | |
| sajattack[m] | the only numbers I've been able to change are the bus fail and the addr, got up to 64 bus fails, and up to 8192 addr fails | 18:51 |
| sajattack[m] | tried probably 20 values in the range 3000-10000 | 18:51 |
| sajattack[m] | many in the range 4000-6000 | 18:52 |
| _florent_ | with the chip you use (AS4C16M16) CL=2 is fine for clk up to 83MHz, so you should probably test with CL=3 | 18:55 |
| _florent_ | https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litedram/blob/master/litedram/phy/gensdrphy.py#L27 | 18:56 |
| tpb | Title: litedram/gensdrphy.py at master · enjoy-digital/litedram · GitHub (at github.com) | 18:56 |
| _florent_ | set cl parameter to 3 | 18:56 |
| sajattack[m] | oh | 18:56 |
| *** rohitksingh has quit IRC | 19:02 | |
| sajattack[m] | that got it down to 8184 addr fails | 19:03 |
| *** rohitksingh has joined #litex | 19:04 | |
| sajattack[m] | cl=4 got it to 8154 | 19:10 |
| sajattack[m] | but we can't really just keep increasing it eh | 19:11 |
| sajattack[m] | do we need to change some other timings too? | 19:15 |
| *** rohitksingh has quit IRC | 19:25 | |
| *** rohitksingh has joined #litex | 19:51 | |
| _florent_ | sajattack[m]: the SDRAM is not supporting CL=4. To investigate, you will have to enable debug: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/master/litex/soc/software/bios/sdram.c#L773 | 21:01 |
| tpb | Title: litex/sdram.c at master · enjoy-digital/litex · GitHub (at github.com) | 21:01 |
