shorne_yike, I installed vivado and it crashes quite a lot01:06
shorne_good old java01:08
shorne_libjvm.so(+0x923da9)01:08
shorne_Probably this issue01:09

tpbTitle: Vivado crashes during startup - Community ForumsXilinx.com (at forums.xilinx.com)01:09
shorne_"It seems like it is a bug of gnome using wayland."  which is what I have01:10
shorne_ok, ill try without the gui for now01:10
shorne_well, I tried with my own installed version of java and it works01:59
shorne_I cant believe, after installing vivado they installed the jre like 8 times02:00
shorne_mithro: during linux build I am getting an error ' ./scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open 'openrisc-rootfs.cpio.gz''02:28
shorne_It seems that file needs to be in the linux root?02:28
shorne_I guess I need to download it from you somewhere?02:29
shorne_Ill try with my own root for now02:30
*** shorne_ is now known as shorne02:32
shorneKernel: arch/openrisc/boot/vmlinux.bin is ready02:34
shorneI had to run : make build/opsis_net_or1k//software/linux/firmware.fbi03:00
shornekernel boots.. but fails loaded VFS (as I removed rootfs)03:00
shorneOK, now to try on a board...03:14
shorneIs there a place I can read about this hole architecture03:14
shornei.e. what other projects do I need to know of other than HDMI2USB-litex-firmware03:15
shorne  - What is in Platforms vs Targets03:16
shorne  - what is gateware / firmware03:16
shorneIll read through docs I can find03:16
shorneAnother question03:17
shorne  - What is this python hdl language?  Is it Chisel?03:17
sb0chisel is scala-based03:20
shorneah ok, I emembered wrong03:22
mithroshorne: 'm around now04:46
mithroshorne: Platform == FPGA Board + things connected to the FPGA board04:46
mithroshorne: Target == Configuration of the SoC04:47
mithroshorne: Take a look at docs/notes.md04:47
mithrojimmo: You should take a look at docs/notes.md too04:47
mithroshorne: writing up some overview docs is on the to-do list04:57
mithroshorne / shenki / jimmo: I'm getting close to being happy to merge the arty stuff05:42
mithroI'm hoping I can get the CI for Vivado running, then I'll merge05:43
mithroNow I have to remember how to run the tarball generation script...06:11
mithroOh -- look at that, Vivado and ISE have a silent (batch) install mode -> https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/32330.html06:59

mithrojimmo: Did you try to rsync the build setup from your desktop to your laptop?09:37
jimmoyes09:37
jimmobut i re-ran download-env09:37
mithroTry make clean first?09:37
jimmomissing pyclean09:38
jimmobut i guess you meant from build/.../qemu09:38
mithroNo, from the top level -- wanted it to delete ./build/xxx_xxx_xxx/09:39
jimmoah right09:39
jimmocool yep that worked, thanks09:41
mithroI assume it was something like needing to rerun ./configure09:42
jimmoyeah i thought build-qemu did that, but now i see that it doesn't09:44
jimmocool i'm back to almost booting linux :D09:44
mithrojimmo: Not every time09:44
mithrojimmo: I guess we can attach gdb and see where Linux is stuck09:44

anant3110mithro : Hi, we talked yesterday. I haven't been able to set up the environment as of now. (internet issues) I will get back to you once I m done setting things up.09:52
mithroanant3110: No worries, sadly the FPGA toolchain downloads are quite large in size :-/09:52
anant3110mithro : True that. I will have decent internet speed tomorrow and I would be able to get things ready. I am just thankful that most of the workflow for FPGAs is automated! :-P I ll make it work by tomorrow or latest by day after and get back to you.10:00
jimmo@mithro so on the opsis i should be able to `make image-flash` and then `make firmware-connect` ?10:26
mithroYes10:26
jimmocool, got the H2U prompt10:33
jimmo"WARNING:root:unbind-helper not found, will have to run as root!"10:33
jimmocan i fix this with more udev rules?10:33
jimmo@mithro how to arty? missing flash.py10:37
mithrojimmo: If you have the udev rules you shouldn't don't need unbind-helper10:37
mithrojimmo: No flash support for the arty yet, just use load10:38
jimmogateware-load ?10:38
mithroYeah10:39
jimmoembedded:startup.tcl:60: Error: Can't find board/digilent_arty.cfg10:39
jimmoi see there's a patch you've written10:40
jimmobut it doesn't seem to have been applied10:40
jimmo./build/conda/pkgs/openocd-0.10.0_166_g0e4fbfba0-20170703_0650/info/recipe/digilent-arty.patch10:40
mithroOh....10:40
*** anant3110 has quit IRC10:40
mithroI wonder why that didn't apply...10:43
shornemithro: thanks I read through a few thing, like migen and misoc and how they use the term gateway as well10:44
shorneThe python is migen10:44
shornemithro: please sse my comments on the google doc10:45
shorne"LiteX Linux Support Random Notes"10:45
mithroshorne: You mean "gateware" ?10:45
mithroshorne: Things get confusing when you have a soft-cpu :-P10:45
shorneyes, gateware ... sorry its a typo my hands are used to typing gateway10:46
jimmo@mithro looks like the other patch did apply10:51
shornemithro: so I got linux booting on qemu, should I try on mimas or arty now?10:51
shorneor anything you want me to look into in qemu?10:51
jimmo@shorne did it boot to userspace?10:51
shornejimmo: for qemu it didnt because I dont have the rootfs10:53
shornebut it booted up until rootfs mount with is pretty much user space10:54
shorneI can try with my own busybox rootfs (on qemu) but was waiting to here what I "should" use10:54
jimmotim gave me a rootfs last night that he got from joel10:55

mithrojimmo is just trying to do exactly the same thing10:56
shornemithro: ok, I just set 'export PLATFORM=arty' then trying the same boot10:59
jimmo@mithro any hints on the openocd patch?10:59
mithrojimmo, create build/conda/share/openocd/scripts/board/digilent_arty.cfg10:59

jimmoyep, but why isn't that happening automatically?11:00
mithrojimmo: Can fix that later :-P11:02
jimmohow does conda know what "timvideos" channel is?11:03

jimmoso something's going wrong with the conda builder11:13
mithrojimmo: yeah11:13
mithrojimmo: But lets get your arty working first11:13
mithroThe builds are done here -> https://travis-ci.org/timvideos/conda-hdmi2usb-packages11:13

jimmo@mithro sent you a pull request11:44
jimmoto fix the conda11:44
jimmo@mithro do you have udev rules for the arty?11:48

mithrojimmo: I'm pretty sure conda is broken because we are using a feature that isn't supported any more...11:52
jimmoi tested that change though11:52
mithrojimmo: How?11:52
jimmoconda build              ?11:52
mithroguess we will see in a second -> https://travis-ci.org/timvideos/conda-hdmi2usb-packages/jobs/28817709711:54
mithrojimmo: I think that error is caused by my attempt to get static linking of libusb / libftdi12:00
jimmoyes, that failed for me too12:00
mithrojimmo: The thing that I thought was going to fail at was12:01
mithroValueError: support for __conda_version__ has been removed as of Conda-build 3.0.Try Jinja templates instead: http://conda.pydata.org/docs/building/meta-yaml.html#templating-with-jinja12:01
jimmowhat changed between 202 and 203?12:04
jimmodoesn't look like there were any commits12:04
mithrojimmo: I assume that is when they removed the support above?12:04
jimmohuh12:05
jimmohttps://travis-ci.org/timvideos/conda-hdmi2usb-packages/builds/25188997312:05
jimmoThe log length has exceeded the limit of 4 MB (this usually means that the test suite is raising the same exception over and over).12:06
jimmoThe job has been terminated12:06
jimmolol, because the path became _h_env_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_pl12:08
jimmooh and that's generated from the __conda_version__ ?12:08
mithrojimmo: they do binary patching - so need the path length to be as long as possible...12:09
jimmoi have no idea what you mean by that12:09
mithrojimmo: They patch path strings inside the binaries12:10
mithrojimmo: They can patch it with shorter paths by moving the '\0'12:11
jimmoso why did the newlib logs change so dramatically?12:11
mithrojimmo: https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/build-packages/make-relocatable.html12:11
mithroNOTE: The prefix length was changed in conda build 2.0 from 80 characters to 255 characters. Legacy packages with 80-character prefixes must be rebuilt to take advantage of the longer prefix.12:12
jimmoand did you move to conda 2.0 about 20 days ago?12:15
mithrojimmo: Not deliberately12:16
jimmolooks like it12:17
jimmoor whatever12:18
jimmoit's definitely that12:18
mithrojimmo: Stop getting distracted, we can get this later12:18
jimmobut this is the stuff that breaks people's setup12:19
jimmoi.e. every step is "oh crap gotta ask tim for the latest workaround"12:19
jimmowe need to fix this stuff12:19
mithrojimmo: Sure and we need to fix it, but at the the moment those things we can see how to fix12:19
jimmoevery thing i've been stuck on so far is nothing specific to my setup12:19
mithrojimmo: I have no idea if you can get the arty booting or not12:20
jimmoi can't get a USB serial device from it12:20
jimmoprobably udev but i can't see what's wrong12:20
mithrojimmo: You just plugged in the device, what did you get from lsusb?12:21
shornewhere am I supposed to get flash.py?12:21
shornewhen I run 'make flash' it says missing flash.py12:21
mithroshorne: Flashing doesn't work on the arty yet12:21
jimmo@shorne you're exactly where i am12:21
jimmorun `make gateware-load` instead12:22
jimmobut it'll fail because you'll be missing digilent_arty.cfg12:22
shorneok12:22
jimmo`cat ./build/conda/pkgs/openocd-0.10.0_166_g0e4fbfba0-20170703_0650/info/recipe/digilent-arty.patch | grep '^\+' | grep -v 'b/tcl' | cut -c2- > build/conda/share/openocd/scripts/board/digilent_arty.cfg`12:22

shorneok, where can I put the config?  I have written openocd configs before12:23
mithrobuild/conda/share/openocd/scripts/board/digilent_arty.cfg12:24
jimmo@shorne - that command should copy it from the patch that didn't apply12:29

shorneIt seems I dont have access to my device12:31
shornemaybe something missing in udec12:31
shorneudev12:31
shorneI need to go12:32
jimmo@shorne yep, exactly what i'm trying to debug now.12:33
mithrojimmo: What does lsusb show?12:33
jimmoit shows exactly what i have a udev rule for12:33

mithrojimmo: What is the permissions on that file?12:35
jimmoargh i'll bet sigrok is overriding my rule12:36
mithrojimmo: What is the permissions?12:37
jimmosigrok installed a udev rule in /usr and it's putting it in a group that doesn't exist on arch12:37
jimmoBAD SIGROK12:37

jimmobrb12:47
jimmoyup12:48
mithroWhat was it?12:49
jimmoi did (the equivalent of) an apt-get upgrade earlier today12:49
jimmowhich included a kernel upgrade12:50
jimmoand hadn't rebooted12:50
jimmo(i don't really know what happens here but FTDI devices don't work until reboot)12:50
jimmook, cool i can serial12:50
jimmodo i have to netboot?12:51
mithroYou need to set up your network to be 192.168.100.10012:51
mithroYou want to install atftpd too12:51
jimmoi can't make firmware-load with linux?12:52
mithrojimmo: Hrm?12:53
jimmowhy do i have to netboot?12:53
jimmojust because it's faster?12:53
mithrojimmo: Because its *much* faster (IE 10 seconds compared to ~5 minutes)12:54
jimmook but i can at least check that it works this way12:54
mithroAnd I've never booted Linux via serial12:54
jimmolooks like make firmware-load doesnt' respect the FIRMWARE env var12:54
mithrojimmo: Possibly - as I mentioned I've not tested this way12:55
mithrojimmo: Then you should just be able to do "make tftpd_start" and "make tftp" then reboot the Arty12:57
jimmoby reboot you mean the reset button?12:58
jimmo(i.e. not power cycle obviously)12:58
jimmonetboot would be simpler if this PC had a spare ethernet port, or if i had a switch in this room12:59
mithrojimmo: Just do a "make gateware-load" should reboot it12:59
jimmoright12:59
jimmoi have a USB ethernet dongle somewhere i'll find that13:00
