sf-slack<shahbaazlokhandwala> Hi guys, i work as FPGA applications engineer, just recently got to know about symbiflow, excited to test and learn workflow.07:23

sf-slack<ssamuel> Hi Everyone, I am an Electrical Engineer Graduate from IIT Roorkee. I have worked on many projects related to SDR and I am very comfortable with FPGA Design and well versed with C and Python. I am very excited to work on SymbiFlow and hope I could really help in the projects.11:53
ZirconiumXssamuel: how much do you know about FPGA architecture?11:56
ZirconiumXFor example, if I mentioned a LUT or DSP would you know what I'm talking about?11:58

sf-slack<ssamuel> Hi, I am comfortable with FPGA Design, especially the ZynQ Architecture during my collage days I have worked with BRAMs, Filter Designs, FPGA-ARM data communication using AMBA and my college internship was to design a test-bed for GPS ASIC (who logic was to be tested)  and I am also comfortable with Verilog and C. I am not that good with linux device drivers but I am working on it. :)12:18
sf-slack<ssamuel> Maybe a little brush-up and I am good to go :)12:18

ZirconiumXssamuel: I didn't ask about FPGA design; you probably won't be doing any here12:50
ZirconiumXI said architecture, as in how FPGAs work12:50
ZirconiumXNot how to write gateware on top of them12:50
sf-slack<ssamuel> Okay, Yes I know how FPGAs work12:53
ZirconiumXThere is one main project I'd consider directly associated with Symbiflow: Project X-Ray12:54
ZirconiumXAnd a bunch of periphery projects which are run by Symbiotic EDA12:55
sf-slack<ssamuel> Okay12:56
ZirconiumXGiven your experience with Xilinx and Zynq, I presume you want to add support for it to the FOSS FPGA flow12:59
ZirconiumXThere are three main parts to it: synthesis, provided by Yosys, place and route, provided by *either* nextpnr or VPR, and bitstream tooling, provided by Project X-Ray13:02
sf-slack<ssamuel> Okay, I get it13:03
ZirconiumXSo consider which one you want to work on13:03
ZirconiumXThere is much that can be done to benefit the entire ecosystem as opposed to one specific target13:04
ZirconiumXBut most of it is in Yosys13:04
ZirconiumXMy personal opinion is that if you're going to work on place and route, pick nextpnr, not VPR13:05
ZirconiumXIt is notably more modern and closer to the state of the art13:05
ZirconiumXWhich results in faster placement and better quality routing13:06
ZirconiumXBut I personally work on Yosys13:07
ZirconiumXAnd I have a few things that I could help with13:07
ZirconiumXIn particular I think Yosys could benefit from a better LUT mapping system13:10
*** benelson has joined #symbiflow13:10
sf-slack<ssamuel> Can I go through both Yosys and nextpnr and then I will let you know13:12
ZirconiumXYosys is actually fairly readable I think13:17
ZirconiumXHaven't looked too much at nextpnr however13:17
sf-slack<ssamuel> I am interested in working on nextpnr :).13:43
ZirconiumXSo, for Xilinx stuff there's nextpnr-xilinx which is run by daveshah13:46
ZirconiumXWhich uses X-Ray for XC7 and RapidWright for XCU/XCUP13:46
ZirconiumXI personally am trying to RE the Intel Cyclone V (which I think will be helpful for the Cyclone 10GX)13:47
ZirconiumXBut adding people to a late project with a bad leader makes things later >.>13:47
