abeljj[m]Is this a good place to ask questions regarding usage of Litex?01:51
sajattack[m]yup01:53
abeljj[m]Can I use my own core written in system verilog to build an SoC?02:01
sajattack[m]I'm not familiar with the process but SoCs are often built on top of outside CPUs written in verilog so I'd assume so02:06
abeljj[m]I have been reading about chipyard before litex. Chipyard is tightly coupled to boom and rocket.02:11

Findeabeljj[m]: you can indeed, a number of others have been integrating their cores into litex recently02:29

_florent_abeljj[m]: welcome, LiteX can be used to create SoC from the provided cores, but that's one of the use cases. Sometimes users don't want to use Migen/LiteX but just want reuse one of the core (LiteDRAM/LiteEth) generated as verilog, sometimes reuse existing Verilog/VHDL/Netlist/IPs  and only use LiteX to ease creating the interconnect, we are trying to allow different approaches/methodologies.07:32

mfnyHello, I need a suggestion as to a Dev board with as full a support as possible for LiteX Linux, and by full support I mean as many peripherals on the board supported as possible..22:11
mfnyperhaps SD and Ethernet ?22:20
mfnyanyone here ?23:15

somlomfny: the nexys4ddr (https://store.digilentinc.com/nexys-4-ddr-artix-7-fpga-trainer-board-recommended-for-ece-curriculum/) seems to be a popular choice23:27

somlomfny: if you care about programming it with completely FOSS tools, the ecp5 versa 5g (lattice) might be a good alternative: https://www.latticestore.com/products/tabid/417/categoryid/59/productid/43172/default.aspx23:30

somlo(no microSD card slot on the board, but it does have ethernet)23:30
