digshadowHi hackerfoo. Whats your question?00:00
hackerfoodigshadow: from the picture above of Vivado's routing of a RAM32X1S, it seems it's using DI2 for the input and O6 as the output.00:04
hackerfooThis seems to contradict information in the arch-defs repo.00:05
digshadowWhat is conflicting? Which is input vs output? How the pins are assigned? What does arch-defs have?00:06
hackerfooIt's more of an observation at this point. I'm going to try to change the definitions to get VPR to route it the same way.00:07
digshadowFWIW I almost exclusively dealt with bit definitions. If you have a routing question, I'm probably not the person to ask00:08
digshadowAlso timing00:08
digshadowEx: if you have questions about RAM32X1S bitstream encoding I can provide insight there00:08
hackerfooWell, is this what you expect? The data input line goes to DI2, and the data output to O6.00:11
digshadowhackerfoo: looking at the user guide, two observations. First, the DI naming is very confusing with net DID[0] => pin DID2, net DID[1] => pint DID1. That aside, it notes in a few things (ex: "Figure 2-11: 64 X 3 Simple Dual Port Distributed RAM (RAM64M)") that they go to pin DI1 when only one is used00:17
digshadowIf its unclear though, I'd probably make a minitest with a number of configurations (or using existing minitests) and take a look at the routing in the various configurations00:18
digshadowLet me see whats in the minitests dir...00:19
digshadowYeah if you synthesize prjxray/fuzzers/018-clb-ram/minitest, maybe modifying it to use the commented out top module00:21
digshadowyou should get a bunch of different examples00:21
digshadownvm no modification needed, just synthesize it00:21

sf-slack2<kgugala> sure07:25
sf-slack2<kgugala> what is left there?07:25
sf-slack2<kgugala> Is it only making the CI green, or some features are  missing?07:25
mithrokgugala: It's a bit unclear, I think most of the work is figuring out what they are *suppose* to be doing :-P07:27
sf-slack2<kgugala> ah, OK07:27

mithrokgugala: I don't understand why the $dff cells which are generated by the 'proc' pass are getting ignored?07:31
mithrokgugala: Actually, this https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs/blob/master/utils/vlog/yosys/json.py#L231-L232 might be the problem...07:31

mithrotmichalak : I merged https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjxray/pull/788 as the CI was green07:36
tpbTitle: Disable currently flaky fuzzers to make CI go green again by tmichalak · Pull Request #788 · SymbiFlow/prjxray · GitHub (at github.com)07:36
sf-slack2<tmichalak> @mithro: great, I also solved the problem with 052-pip-clkin ( https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjxray/pull/799). At least I think so.07:39
tpbTitle: 052-pip-clkin: stabilize and re-enable the fuzzer by tmichalak · Pull Request #799 · SymbiFlow/prjxray · GitHub (at github.com)07:39
sf-slack2<kgugala> @mithro yes, this may be problem07:39
sf-slack2<kgugala> I'll play around and see what is happening there07:40
mithrokgugala: Did you see my comments on https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs/issues/642 ?07:41

sf-slack2<tmichalak> @mithro: currently I am running my tests for 054-pip-fan-alt (https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjxray/pull/789) and started looking into reenabling 045-hclk-cmt-pips (https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjxray/issues/790)07:41

*** Vonter has joined #symbiflow07:42
sf-slack2<kgugala> @mithro yes, I've seen them07:45
mithrokgugala: Did they make sense?07:45
sf-slack2<kgugala> this makes sense07:46
sf-slack2<kgugala> the question is if that won't break the current flow?07:46
sf-slack2<kgugala> I'm using v2x to generate all the xmls and uipdate them with timings07:47
sf-slack2<kgugala> so introducing this change now may break arch-defs07:47
mithrokgugala: What do you mean?08:00
mithroelms: Look what I found -> https://github.com/mithro/symbiflow-arch-defs/commit/4c996d52d2f7652c42e46e909815e97b8d98a01308:00
tpbTitle: ice40: Adding real world timing values. · mithro/symbiflow-arch-defs@4c996d5 · GitHub (at github.com)08:00
sf-slack2<acomodi> mithro: regarding https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs/issues/642, all the golden pb_types/model should be in the `new` format, am I correct? Than the `xmlsort.xsl` handles the translation to the `old` format to have the interconnects compatible with current VPR08:00
tpbTitle: Issues · SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs · GitHub (at github.com)08:00
mithroacomodi: Yes08:01
sf-slack2<acomodi> mithro: ok, got it, I'll revert the PR then08:01
sf-slack2<kgugala> @mithro In parallel I'm working on bel timings import into arch.xml. There I switched from handwritten xmls to the ones generated from verilog (I discussed that with @elms and @litghost). Now, with v2x handling multiple instances I should be able to finish this08:04
sf-slack2<kgugala> @mithro but if we switch to a new interconnect generation, wouldn't it break the flow?08:04
sf-slack2<kgugala> can vpr handle the new interconnect format?08:05
mithrokgugala: See what acomodi said --  The `xmlsort.xsl` handles the translation to the `old` format to have the interconnects compatible with current VPR08:05
mithrokgugala: Which is done as part of the architecture merging step08:05
sf-slack2<kgugala> oh08:05
sf-slack2<kgugala> OK08:05
sf-slack2<kgugala> I must have missed that08:05
mithrokgugala: VPR doesn't handle <xi:include> either08:05
sf-slack2<acomodi> mithro: here there is the revert PR https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs/pull/648, it needs some changes though as I have noticed it creates incorrect direct connections08:22
sf-slack2<tmichalak> kokoro seems to be stuck, force-run tag doesn't work, anyone else experiences this problem? I wonder if there is anything else I can do except wait...09:15
sf-slack2<mkurc> @tmichalak I made a PR to arch-defs an hour ago and the kokoro seems to be still running. I don't know if I can see logs of a pending build.09:18
sf-slack2<tmichalak> @mkurc: maybe the problem only applies to new runs only, let me know if your run finishes09:21
sf-slack2<acomodi> Could it be due to the fact that there are multiple PRs that are being run on kokoro?09:21
sf-slack2<tmichalak> @acomodi: actually I start to think that it is indeed the case09:22
sf-slack2<acomodi> for instance I opened a PR as well a half an hour ago09:22
sf-slack2<mkurc> Might be so. It would be nice to have a interface to see load of the build server.09:23
sf-slack2<tmichalak> @acomodi: I noticed that when running multiple PRs for fuzzers stabilization there were some hickups in kokoro's runs09:23
sf-slack2<tmichalak> @mkurc: I agree09:24

sf-slack2<mkurc> @tmichalak Kokoro finished checking my PR successfully10:32
sf-slack2<tmichalak> @mkurc: okay thanks, so I have 2 PRs running, i.e. one running and the second one about to run with the use of the force-run tag. Unfortunately, nothing changes for 2 hours now.10:34
sf-slack2<acomodi> There is no way right now to run only one of the different checks right? (e.g. XC7-presubmit failed and I want to re-run only that one)10:37
sf-slack2<kgugala> I don't think so10:37
sf-slack2<kgugala> just rerun all of them10:37

hackerfooI was reading through the CLB user guide last night that the software is responsible for setting A6 high in 32 bit RAM modes to keep O5/O6 independent.13:57
hackerfooI also made VPR use O5 and got a different alternating pattern.13:59
