sf-slack<kgugala> @mkurc I believe you have a quickfeather board on your desk05:16

*** kgugala has joined #symbiflow06:42
sf-slack<mkurc> I do. I'll check the bitstream07:03
*** epony has joined #symbiflow07:18
sf-slack<mkurc> @olof.kindgren Bad news :( The bitstream seems not to be working. The LED remains off all the time.07:22
sf-slack<kgugala> @olof.kindgren you can use fasm2bels to decompile the bitstream07:23
sf-slack<kgugala> and get structural verilog07:24
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> @mkurc Thanks for checking. It was a shot in the dark. I will do some more detailed analysis once I get a cable07:24
sf-slack<kgugala> you can run simulations with it07:24
sf-slack<kgugala> (this is quite useful in debugging)07:24
sf-slack<kgugala> BTW we have a similar tool fo 7 series FPGAs07:25
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> @kgugala That's handy, but I'm trying too many things at once. First step should really be to see I got correct pin for the LED, reset polarity and that the clock is runnkng07:25
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> Once I have that working it could make sense to do post-p&r simulations if things are still not working07:27
*** kraiskil has joined #symbiflow07:27
sf-slack<kgugala> mhm07:27
sf-slack<kgugala> also it probably makes sense to add fasm2bels support to edalize07:27
sf-slack<kgugala> :)07:27
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> @kgugala Yes. netlist/gatelevel simulations is one of the reasons I'm looking at building a next-generation Edalize (called Edalize Slight Return for now)07:30
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> https://github.com/olofk/edalize/wiki/Edalize-(Slight-return)07:30
sf-slack<kgugala> Return of the sims07:31
sf-slack<kgugala> ;)07:31
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> Does anyone know a particular brand of these SWD cables that are both supported by OpenOCD and has the right connector?07:31
sf-slack<mkurc> @olof.kindgren Regarding the PB-SDIOMUX error: You are using the binary toolchain provided by QuickLogic right? Can you tell which version? (release). I recall an issue with those SDIOMUX pins and I'd like to double-check if it is not a lingering bug there.07:36
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> Should be 1.2 Will double check07:37
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> Yes. Installed from `Symbiflow_v1.2.0.gz.run`07:37
sf-slack<mkurc> Ok, thx.07:38
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> Related to that, can you verify which pin number I should use in the pcf for the red LED on the quickfeather board?07:38
sf-slack<kgugala> @olof.kindgren regarding the cables - I think we should soon open source Antmicro's adapter - the latest revision supports SWD and can be used with QF (I also tested the current revision with some other boards e.g. OrangeCrab and it works fine)07:40
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> That would be cool. Wouldn't help me in this particular case though since I guess I would still need to build one :)07:41
sf-slack<mkurc> So Quickfeather uses the chip in PU64 package. You may refer to IO pins either by number or by "alias" (eg. IO_20). The RGB led uses IO_22, IO_21 and IO_18.07:45
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> @mkurc Cool. So yesterday I tried `22` which didn't work and then `34`. Do you mean that `IO_22` is an alias for `34`?07:49
sf-slack<mkurc> Yes it is07:49
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> Hey, I just found a video which describes how to use a TinyFPGA (hopefully BX) to program the board. Might try that later07:49
sf-slack<olof.kindgren> @mkurc Cool. Thanks. Then I got the pinout correct at least07:49
sf-slack<mkurc> great :)07:50

sf-slack<olof.kindgren> I hate cables. Why can't we just have everything in the cloud instead?07:50

mithrokgugala: You should be able to use to the USB bootloader to program the QuickLogic device, right?20:25
sf-slack<kgugala> @mithro yes, you should. The device should come preprogramed with the USB - UART bitstream. This should allow you loading bitstream using firmware running on the CPU20:28
sf-slack<kgugala> I never used this20:28
