litghostskydive: I'm tracking an OOM failure that occurs on arty100T with some placement seeds.  We have been seeing it on CI with some frequency.  I believe I know how to fix the issue, and will be working on it this week.15:24
skydiveThanks a lot for the update!15:28
*** kraiskil has joined #symbiflow15:30
litghostskydive: So as a workaround, you can provide another seed to the placement step, and it "typically" works.  To pass a seed to placement set env var VPR_SEED="--seed <int>" before invoking the flow15:30
litghostskydive: Not ideal, but might give you a chance to make progress while we work on a fix15:31
litghostskydive: It is worth noting that I expect the arty100T flow right now to use ~2-6 GB.  It is worth noting that not all of that is resident at the same time, but it does imply a minimum RAM requirement for the moment15:36
skydivelitghost: thanks for the heads up regarding RAM. I should be fine, I have about 7GB free.15:37
skydiveSetting that environment variable seems to break the symbiflow_pack command. "vpr architecture circuit" is telling me --seed is an unexpected argument.15:38
litghostskydive: Huh, let me check, I might have provide a bad argument then15:38
skydiveWhoops - i accidently had an equals in there.15:38
litghostskydive: Ya, that'll do it15:39

sf-slack<ryancj14> @mithro: I've studied fpga-tool-perf extensively now and I was wondering if it might be nice to have a wiki for fpga-tool-perf. I've compiled some of the notes I've taken on the repo into an example wiki in ryancj14/fpga-tool-perf: https://github.com/ryancj14/fpga-tool-perf/wiki Do you think something like this would be a good addition to the repo?16:32

*** xtro has joined #symbiflow16:48
skydivelitghost: Even after exporting the seed, it still doesn't seem to work reliably. Same problem. Do you have an example seed that functions properly?16:49
skydiveI'll be patient - thanks for working on this!16:49
litghostskydive: Huh, can you file an issue and attach the failing log file?16:50
skydiveWill do so tonight. What's the optimal way to get a log output? (Command) > file.log 2>&116:51
litghostskydive: Logs should be in files with extension *.log, so simply tar them all16:57

sf-slack<johnnybui> Is there any specific reason that the icebreaker board is reporting frequency as 81.05 while all the other boards/toolchains have frequencies in the millions (246366100). I assume it's some issue with inconsistency with units (hertz vs megahertz). Here's an example: https://gist.github.com/TypingKoala/80a1144e30eb3d678f30f8f063baea6318:27

litghostjohnnybui: Seems like a bug?  Please file an issue with the relevant info so it can be cleaned up, both in the code and in the documentation19:50

skydiveSorry - I'm on the move for a week. Hard to be timely.22:21
litghostskydive: No problem.  Your issue is different than the one I'm investigating, but I'll take a look22:33
skydiveHmm - i couldn't reproduce my earlier logs...22:34
skydiveIt seems to break in the same section of the Makefile22:34
