mithrolitghost: There is something going on with the HCLK fuzzers01:23
mithrolitghost: They don't seem to be running properly...01:24

whatnickmithro: which host board are you using for Xray fuzzing ? Looking at setting up the fuzzer , since I have the headless xilinix toolchain already.01:24
litghostIf you re-run make at the fuzzer root?01:24
litghostwhatnick: Fuzzing only requires vivado01:25
mithrowhatnick: You don't really use a "board" for X-Ray01:25
litghostIt's purely software01:25
mithrowhatnick: If you want to *use* the toolchain to produce bitstreams for designs that is a totally different thing01:26
whatnickI have the headless toolchain set-up and taking space on my machine. Planning to put it to good use if possible.01:29
whatnickIf it is to bitstream only and back analysis of that I can keep running that ...01:30
whatnickIs the input vhdl manually generated ? auto-generated by the fuzzer ?01:30
mithrowhatnick: No VHDL involved here - do you mean Verilog?01:30
whatnickAgain my lack of knowledge there .... off to read fuzzer flow ...01:31
mithrowhatnick: What are you trying to do?01:31
whatnickhttps://prjxray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/db_dev_process/overview.html is right location01:31
tpbTitle: Overview Project X-Ray documentation (at prjxray.readthedocs.io)01:31
whatnickHelp out with mapping the xilinix board and get off the proprietary toolchain I have the Mimas board. From your talk it is mostly usable ?01:32
mithrowhatnick: Most of the Mimas boards are Spartan 6 based. Do you have a Mimas A7 or an older Mimas / Mimas V2?01:33
whatnickI did the fupy build for it using the prop toolchain over pycon 2018, aiming to get x-ray to the point where I can do the same with OS chain. I have the V201:34
mithrowhatnick: The V2 is a Spartan 6 based board. The Spartan 6 it is not supported by Project X-Ray or SymbiFlow at all01:35
whatnickAaahh ...01:36
whatnickokay time to get a new board ..01:36
mithrowhatnick: SymbiFlow is also not ready for doing FuPy stuff on any Xilinx board yet either01:36
mithrowhatnick: Yosys+nextpnr works fine with FuPy on the iCE40 parts01:37
*** proteusguy has quit IRC01:38
whatnickI only have the flea for ecp5 and an ice40 stick ..01:39
whatnickstepping back the overall goal is to do high speed ADC + Maths on FPGA to capture instantenous AC power usage and appliance finger printing ...01:40
whatnickIt does not have to support Fupy, but will make it easier to iterate ...01:40
whatnickI have some ice40 parts + ADC as well from Olimex ..01:41

mithrowhatnick: I suggest we move to the #timvideos channel as this isn't really symbiflow related01:47
whatnickSure ...01:48
whatnickI was also working on getting the ECP5 I have going ... would that be relevant ?01:49
*** proteusguy has joined #symbiflow01:51
whatnickdaveshah: I have started working on the ECP5-25F sample here https://github.com/whatnick/prjtrellis/tree/master/examples/soc_fleafpga01:56
tpbTitle: prjtrellis/examples/soc_fleafpga at master · whatnick/prjtrellis · GitHub (at github.com)01:56
whatnickPulled the lpf file from the manufacturer sample01:56
whatnickWill need to make other relevant changes to account for 25F in makefile I assume, as well as openocd01:57
whatnickThis "../../misc/basecfgs/empty_lfe5um5g-45f.config --textcfg $@ --um5g-45k" targets 45f01:59
mithrowhatnick: Getting ECP5 stuff into the TimVideos LiteX-BuildEnv would be super cool, but again the #timvideos IRC channel would be the best place for that03:29

mithrolitghost: https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjxray/issues/582 -- I'm pretty sure its an issue in the Makefile at https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjxray/tree/master/fuzzers/100-dsp-mskpat but I don't understand the file enough to see what the problem is03:54

OmniMancerIs there a particular reason for the version of Vivado that the Project X-Ray readme.md says to install?08:39

OmniMancerWhat is the most reasonable way to install that version of Vivado?09:18
mithroOmniMancer: Download it from the Xilinx website and install it?09:22
*** citypw has quit IRC09:56
kgugalamithro: TBH I'm starting to suspect a make bug - there seems to be some kind a race condition between the targets generated with fuzzer macro10:13
kgugala*some kind of a race condition10:13
*** ardi has joined #symbiflow10:14
kgugalaI have random results in each run10:16
mithroI think we should make the output of the fuzzers more readable / less verbose so you can better understand what is actually going on10:38
*** acomodi has joined #symbiflow10:49
kgugalait is visible what is going on - some fuzzers were newer run10:52
kgugalano matter the fact that they are in the makefile10:52
kgugalafor some reason make decided that those should not be run10:53
kgugalathe missing part of the DB is because some fuzzer didn't have a chance to produce it10:53
kgugalathis is why I suspect make itself10:54
*** citypw has joined #symbiflow10:55
sxpertwhat would be the proper command lines to generate a basic design from a simple .v file11:04
mithrokgugala: Do you know how to run make in debug mode?11:12
mithrosxpert: Hrm? If your asking how to create a bitstream from a simple verilog file for an ice40 I recommend asking in the #yosys or ##openfpga channels11:13
sxpertok11:14
* sxpert heads there11:14
kgugalamithro: yes, I know11:38
kgugalaI'll check what is happening there11:39

tpbTitle: The way sites are named in Tile.get_instance_sites is broken · Issue #134 · SymbiFlow/prjxray · GitHub (at github.com)18:11
litghostBasically the way we are extracting BRAM and DSP names from the specific to generic and generic to specific is broken18:11
litghostIt's critical to fix, but it would be nice to do at some point18:12
litghostSorry, it's not critical to fix18:47
