XarkHello.  I thought I would play with SymbiFlow, but following the "Getting Started" doc on Ubuntu 18.04, it fails for me on first "make" with "/xsltproc: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".  Is this a known issue (libiconv is apparently included as part of libc6 on Ubuntu)?03:20

hackerfooA simple design with DRAM, PCIe, and GPIO connected through AXI takes ~20% of an xc7a200t with Vivado. That's more than I expected.18:18

daveshahVivado's IP cores are pretty big, I wouldn't be surprised if it was less than half that with LiteX and its cores18:40
daveshahhttps://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=5018 has a comparison18:40
daveshah> LiteX produces a design that uses about 20% of an XC7A50 FPGA with a runtime of about 10 minutes, whereas Vivado produces a design that consumes 85% of the same FPGA with a runtime of about 30-45 minutes.18:41
hackerfooStill, 10% of a 200T is a lot for VtR to handle when we're currently only working with 1/5th of a 35T.19:46
litghostPlan is to use all of the 35T for LiteX19:47
hackerfoodaveshah: Reading that article, skipping DRAM calibration seems iffy. Seems like companies providing IP can't cut corners like that.19:52
hackerfooMaybe you could do it with partial reconfiguration.19:52
daveshahLiteX doesn't skip calibration19:52
hackerfooI'm just reading the article, not referring to LiteX.19:53
daveshahAh right19:53
hackerfooI guess I should try making a LiteX version of Project-0.19:56
hackerfoolitghost: Is there a LiteX design yet?20:00
litghostIn prjxray? Yes, https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjxray/tree/master/minitests/litex .  For Symbiflow-arch-defs?  Not yet, https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs/issues/91120:06

hackerfoolitghost: Where is arty.py?20:11
hackerfooWow. Don't try to look at top.v online.20:12
litghosthackerfoo: mkurc made the README, might make an issue and assign to him about clarifying that20:12
litghosthackerfoo: I don't know off hand20:13
hackerfooThanks20:13
sf-slack3<mkurc> @hackerfoo The prjxray repo contains only generated files. the 'arty.py' is part of one of LiteX repos.20:26
hackerfoomkurc: How do I know which version of arty.py generated the files? Also, which version of LiteX?20:27
sf-slack3<mkurc> @hackerfoo Well, that was just a "minitest" so I didn't push that info to the repo.20:28
sf-slack3<mkurc> @hackerfoo But I can find it out20:29
hackerfooI see. I still think documenting this is important.20:29
