BertlGreeting!12:30
sf-slack1<pgielda> Hi Bertl12:31
Bertlso I'm still trying to wrap my head around the mapping between features and frame data12:31
Bertlfor example in 'CLBLL_L.SLICEL_X0.ALUT.INIT[00] 32_15', according to the code, the 32_15 means 'word column' 32 and 'word bit' number 1512:33
Bertlhte mapping to frame adds the 'word column' to the base address12:34
Bertl*the12:34
Bertland the 'word bit' to the offset (multiplied by the word size)12:34
Bertlthe 'frames' entry in e.g. "CLBLL_L_X20Y68" which is 36 probably refers to the total number of frames involved in the tile12:36
Bertlnow to me it seems that this can he horizontal or vertical and maybe even with gaps?12:37
sf-slack1<acomodi> yes, it should be like that. 32 is the offset and 15 the bit in that word. So 32_15 means the 15th bit in the 32nd word, starting from the tile base address12:37
Bertlacomodi: hmm, you make it sound like it would be the same frame, but I'm not so sure about that12:39
Bertlthe frame is identified by the frame address, which for me is the base address plus the word column12:41
Bertlthe offset in this frame then is the 'base offset' times word size plus the word_bit (offset in the bitstream)12:42
sf-slack1<kgugala> Bertl: did you read this https://prjxray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture/configuration.html?12:43
tpbTitle: Configuration Project X-Ray documentation (at prjxray.readthedocs.io)12:43
Bertlyes, I did read that, I also know how the frames are organized (not so much what the content means though)12:44
Bertlso to get back to the example above, I would conclude that INIT[00] for CLBLL_L_X20Y68 is located at:12:46
Bertlframe 0x00400A00 + 32 = 0x00400A2012:47
Bertlbit offset 36 * 32 + 15 = 1167 or word 36, bit 1512:49
sf-slack1<tmichalak> Bertl: I guess this code speaks better than words: https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjxray/blob/05055fe0287ab33d956ffc67a773a88208f9ea9e/utils/segprint.py#L6812:49

Bertlwell, that's what I've concluded from the code :)12:50
Bertlwhat I'm looking for is just confirmation that I didn't misinterpret it12:51
sf-slack1<tmichalak> yes, I guess you could say that 32_15 in this case means bit_00400A20_36_15, ie. frame add 0x00400A20, word 36, bit 1512:56
Bertlgreat! thanks for the confirmation!12:57

sf-slack1<acomodi> update on picosoc: it's alive on HW! I have divided the clk 100MHz -> ~1MHz and now the leds are blinking (extremely slow) and everytime they do there is an UART data transmission to the host (I couldn't capture it yet, I'll use a logic analyzer to test it). There seems to be a timing issue which VPR cannot solve. Anyway it is executing code located in BRAM14:46
*** Ayazulla has joined #symbiflow14:52
sf-slack1<mkurc> @acomodi You can try changing the prescaler in code. Now it is 100e6/115200 ~ 868.14:52
*** Ayazulla has left #symbiflow14:52
sf-slack1<acomodi> @mkurc Could try that as well, where is the prescaler set?14:56
sf-slack1<mkurc> @acomodi Look into the `firmware/firmware.c` file at line 567.14:57
sf-slack1<mkurc> just at the beginning of the main()14:57
sf-slack1<acomodi> great, thanks14:58

sf-slack1<mkurc> Update on tile grid split: I've managed to split all CLBs into individual slices along with all (almost all) the connections. I integrated it with the symbiflow build system and managed to generate a fasm files for xc7/tests/counter and xc7/tests/chain_packing designs. Still cannot generate a bitstream - its a work in progress. Here is a WIP pull request: https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs/pull/43515:05

litghostWhy should getting a bitstream be hard?  Just emit the original tile prefixes, and everything should just work15:37
litghostThe FASM features should not change at all15:37
litghostacomodi: That's great!  It is totally unsuprising there is a timing issue.  It is time to emit a routing graph with timing information that isn't random values picked out of a hat!15:38
sf-slack1<mkurc> @litghost I never said that it'll be hard :slightly_smiling_face:15:39
*** t2shashwat has quit IRC16:05
sf-slack1<acomodi> mithro: can the db be updated with the latest info (in particular regarding the BRAM after the 025-bram fuzzer changes applied by litghost)?16:09
*** citypw has quit IRC16:27
sf-slack1<acomodi> Picosoc works at 25MHz on HW, UART included16:50
sf-slack1<acomodi> I will clean and issue a PR16:51
litghostacomodi: What about 50 MHz?16:52
sf-slack1<acomodi> I can test that as well, I'll keep you updated16:53
sf-slack1<acomodi> litghost: to have picosoc compiling there are two ways. The first is to set the Y_MAX in the harness to 51 instead of 52 (so the BRKH_INT row is not considered). The second would be to integrate the BRKH_INT bits through the `ppips` fuzzer. Which way you think is better?17:39
litghostacomodi: Shrink the Y_MAX17:39
sf-slack1<mkurc> @acomodi Don't forget to update the uart divider in firmware and attach the hex file.17:40
sf-slack1<acomodi> @mkurc Yep, I'll do that17:42
mithroacomodi: I'm pretty sure I pushed that already?17:43
sf-slack1<acomodi> mithro: Yes indeed, I have just checked that, I was using the previous version17:45

mithrolitghost: Did my comment on https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs/pull/435 make sense?19:47
tpbTitle: WIP - Tile grid split by mkurc-ant · Pull Request #435 · SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs · GitHub (at github.com)19:47
litghostmithro: Yes and no.  If equivalent tiles are implemented it wont matter.  If the output tiles were only SLICE_L and SLICE_M, then disabling SLICE_M carry chains would enable 6/8 chains.  With the presence of round-robin prepacking and specialized carry chains, it won't matter either.19:48
litghostmithro: I think there is "ease of use" to emitting only SLICE_L and SLICE_M in terms of resource utilization19:49
litghostbut that is potentially a second order problem19:49
mithrolitghost: You mean because the sites will say that they can have both have CLBLL_L_SLICEL_X0Y0 and CLBLL_L_SLICEL_X1Y0 ?19:53
litghostmithro: Effectively, ya.19:53

mithroShould become19:58
mithroTILE_TYPES INT_R INT_L SLICEL SLICEM BRAM_L19:59
litghostI don't entirely disagree19:59
