|---|---|---|
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> I am thinking of getting this board https://www.crowdsupply.com/sundance-dsp/polarberry | 11:12 |
| tpb | Title: PolarBerry | Crowd Supply (at www.crowdsupply.com) | 11:12 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> not actively, no, but definitely happy to hear about the use case. we do use the pfsoc and bemoan the closed toolchain, but it needs some critical mass | 11:30 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> currently we're supporting platforms based on user demand vs vendor support | 11:33 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> sure, I myself are looking at synergis FPGA + RISC-V | 11:34 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> I don't think Xylinx is making RISC-V FPGA dev board | 11:34 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> I would be looking on implementing ZKSnarks accelerator in the FPGA + playing with OpenPOWER soft cores | 11:35 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> nope, I dont think they will now, being part of AMD ;) | 11:35 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> did AMD buy Xylinx? | 11:36 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> anyhow for pfsoc bear in mind polarberry is coming soon, so in practice not sure when its coming out | 11:36 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> probably not very soon, you should get an icicle instead of you want to get started now, or go ahead and play with Renode/Verilator | 11:37 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> NVIDIA buing ARM, AMD buying Zylinx... | 11:37 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> Yeah, I am evaluating https://www.crowdsupply.com/microchip/polarfire-soc-icicle-kit also | 11:37 |
| tpb | Title: PolarFire SoC Icicle Kit | Crowd Supply (at www.crowdsupply.com) | 11:37 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> is there any SYmbiFlow supported PCIe card that is SymbiFlow supported I could just connect to https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unmatched PCIe slot? | 11:39 |
| tpb | Title: HiFive Unmatched - SiFive (at www.sifive.com) | 11:39 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> yes, just announced the amd xilinx purchase | 11:39 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> I see | 11:40 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> this consolidation is getting dangerous | 11:40 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> for open hardware ecosystem | 11:40 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> well, there will be new players | 11:45 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> as for something pcie capable, netv2 should be supported | 11:46 |
| sorear | ignoring the closed toolchain issue entirely, I have to wonder if the polarfire's nature as a flash fpga is a problem for 'tinkering' use cases | 11:47 |
| sorear | the datasheet rates it for programming 500-2000 times _total_ depending on temperature | 11:47 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> hmm, I see | 11:57 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> I did not study the datasheet that deeply, I was just looking how much LUTs it has :,) | 11:58 |

| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> Looks like Huawei makes something with Xylinx FPGA - https://e.huawei.com/en/products/servers/pcie-ssd/fpga | 12:42 |
| tpb | Title: FX-Series FPGA Accelerator Cards — Huawei Enterprise (at e.huawei.com) | 12:42 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> | 12:44 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> if you're into the open toolchains, series 7 is a better bet for now. support is more mature. | 14:04 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> us+ is being worked on, but it's more complex + earlier in the pipeline | 14:05 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> tis there a series 7 PCIe card? | 14:09 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> netv2 has pcie afaik | 14:10 |
| sf-slack | <mgielda> someone correct me if I am wrong | 14:10 |
| sf-slack | <kgugala> it has | 14:10 |
| sf-slack | <kgugala> and it has open source examples usign pcie | 14:10 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> basically an ideal card to start developing open-source GPU? :) | 14:11 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> that is if those 2 HDMIs can be outputs | 14:12 |
| sf-slack | <kgugala> yes, you can use them as outputs | 14:12 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> god, I hope this year bonus will be substantial :) | 14:13 |
| sf-slack | <thestorageguy> so much hardware to buy | 14:13 |
