trabucayrekeesj: too late to see the price :(09:27
trabucayrejust to know (and for christmas), are there a board with PCIe and GPIOs for a decent price ?09:29
keesjwassup with PCIe? is this how most FPGA are running on the cloud? or is there an ohter use case?11:05

lkcl_florent_: interesting side-effect of a bus width of 64, CSR bank width of 8, and a GPIO bank of 1617:16
*** SpaceCoaster has quit IRC17:16
lkclthe GPIOs are truncated to only 817:16
lkclthis is detected only when compiling with yosys at the ASIC level because only yosys detects that the top 8 GPIO outs are not connected to their CSRs... or... the enables are not connected and a cascade-effect removes them17:17
lkcli think this is happening when crossing over a non-aligned boundary17:18
lkcli.e. a previous CSR made the GPIO one an odd-numbered CSR bank17:19
lkclmaybe17:19
lkclhard to tell from looking at 10,000 lines of auto-generated verilog :)17:19

keesjwell it has some other connectivity17:25
keesj99 is a nice price no?17:27
trabucayrekeesj: true niteFury is more correct for me :)17:47
trabucayrethank17:50

felix_there are also basically clones of the nitefury that were used as bitcoin miners and now that they're getting decomissioned they are sold for 60-ish euro on ebay18:13
felix_acorn cle-215+ is the board; it's more like 80 euro after shipping though18:15
trabucayreneed to compare before writting my christmas list :)18:17
Findethere are a few differences in ram and number of luts that you'll probably want to keep an eye on18:17
Findecle-215+ is a pretty good tradeoff imo18:18
trabucayreI'm interrested to have some GPIOs18:19
trabucayrebut Yes seems a good option18:19
_florent_trabucayre: the Acorn is indeed very interesting, it has a limited number of IOs but has 1GB DDR3 / PCIe Gen2 X4 / XC7A200T18:50
_florent_you can do nice things with it:18:51

_florent_etc... :)18:53
_florent_lkcl: I'll try to have a look tomorrow18:56
trabucayre_florent_: thanks. I think I will order one19:22
trabucayreI need to validate some small thing with my zynq before :)19:23
keesjliving in EU .. I often get to pay extra for stuff shipped by crowsupply20:02
trabucayrekeesj: yep. I've found acorn in ebay (with extra)20:04

Findeoh that 325t is intersting20:14
Findethose could be fun to play with20:15
trabucayreyes but a bit expensive :(20:15
_florent_zyp: the boards from this shop are indeed very interesting regarding features/price20:16
_florent_I already have some but not the one you linked20:16
zyphow is the quality?20:17
_florent_I was going to comment on this :)20:17
_florent_I won't build a project based on these boards, but they are nice to play with or do development20:18
_florent_that's clearly not the quality you can get from Digilent for example20:18
_florent_but the board cost less than the FPGA itself, so...20:19
zypyeah, I get the impression they are thrown together by some independent designer that happens to have a cheap source of parts20:20
lkcl_florent_: i am suspecting a possible bug with coriolis2 however there it is even harder to tell because it's fragmented things down to cell-level connections.20:27
lkclconsequently, greatly appreciate the help eliminating litex as a potential source.  it is extremely weird error20:36
