FelixVicr1901_modern: I assume you are busy - I am not sure how to proceed with the spi flash core00:09
FelixViMy thinking right now is that I can add a VHDL core that works and we could look at litex later if that's more convenient for you00:10
FelixVithe other option is to llok at the bscan files - those appear to have a working spi flash interface in fhdl00:11
FelixVimithro: How do you usually simulate cores written in FHDL?00:13
mithroFelixVi: You don't really00:13
FelixViso verification is through hardware testing?00:14
FelixVithe cores I've made so far all have test benches so that you get some level of verification from that00:14
FelixViI'm wondering if one can do the same with the spi_flash cores here to see what's going on00:15
mithroFelixVi: VHDL doesn't really have any simulators -- Verilog has Icarus and Verilator00:15
FelixVighdl, isim, modelsim work for vhdl00:15
FelixVilet me see if I can get verilog output files from litex00:16
mithroWe don't really use isim/modelsim -- you can generate the verilog and use your normal system00:17
FelixViuh - is all you get the top.v file?00:17
FelixViis there a command to just synthesize a core, but not the whole litex soc?00:22
mithroFelixVi: yes00:27
mithroFelixVi: You can generate verilog of any module log00:28
FelixVimithro: Is there any documentation for that? Or is the source the only guide?00:31
mithrohttps://m-labs.hk/migen/manual/fhdl.html#conversion-for-synthesis00:32
FelixVisweet, thanks!00:32
*** jea[m] has joined #timvideos00:33
cr1901_modernWhy do we need a separate flash core? I thought we got the litex core working. Why isn't saturn working _still_?01:05
FelixVicr1901_modern: because it doesn't boot from flash01:07
FelixVidoes not appear to be reading anything01:07
cr1901_modernFelixVi: See DM01:08
cr1901_modernFelixVi: Did you run "mkmscimg.py" by any chance?01:19
FelixViisn't that how the .bin file is generated from the toolchain?01:28
cr1901_modernOh it might be...01:28
* cr1901_modern needs to clean up his repositories and Atom projects...01:36
cr1901_modernFelixVi: I'll check the Makefile by the time you get home01:43
FelixVicr1901_modern: awesome, I think that part is fine - what bugs me is that it reads all one's from flash01:45
FelixViso we don't get to a point where a broken firmware file would matter01:46
cr1901_modernI wonder if the boot address is wrong01:46
FelixViI tried 0x200000 with bios length of 001:46
FelixViand I think the address as well as upload addres in xc3sprog are byte offsets01:47
FelixViI'll take off now and should be back in a little bit01:48
cr1901_modernFelixVi: Clearly you could always create a custom bitstream to dump relevant data for you, such as an SPIFlash dumper to test mem contents. >>01:48
cr1901_modernThere are things I could do here at home to verify that things are working01:48
cr1901_modernerm, ignore that last msg01:48
FelixViyeah, that's why I wanted to synthesize the flash controller by itself01:48
cr1901_modernBut since we both value our time and mental health, I'd just use an FTDI breakout board and logic analyzer to probe the flash mem :P01:48
cr1901_modern(which I have both of those at home)01:49
FelixVibtw, I had no luck finding the right conversion.py in litex01:49
cr1901_modernconversion.py?01:49
FelixVihttps://m-labs.hk/migen/manual/fhdl.html#conversion-for-synthesis01:49
FelixViit's convert.py, sorry01:49
cr1901_modernthere is no convert.pt01:49
FelixViI might look at that again when I get home01:50
cr1901_modernfrom litex.fhdl.verilog import convert01:50
FelixViah, so with that I can make a bitstream, put the spi_flash block on there and try to read out flash01:50

shenkii was using them for testing. is it okay to reenable them?04:28
shenkiah, removing them is why my csr.h changed around04:28
mithroshenki: so people could write their own drivers04:29
mithroYou can revert that commit04:29

cr1901_modernand differential pairs are matched.05:09
cr1901_modernSo if someone used PMODs (Saturn supports 3 double-PMODs AFAICT), like the ones I just randomly found here: https://github.com/mithro/pmod-hdmi05:09
tpbTitle: GitHub - mithro/pmod-hdmi: HDMI Expansion Modules compatible with the Pmod standard (at github.com)05:09
cr1901_modernSaturn could be a good HDMI2USB board05:09
FelixVi2cr1901_modern: If you want a good board to add HDMI interfaces check out waxwing instead05:37
cr1901_modernENOMONEY05:37
FelixVi2similar I/O, but the connectors on them allow for proper impedance-matched connections all the way to the carrier board05:37
cr1901_modernwell, okay strictly not true, but it's the simplest explanation05:37
FelixVi2I'm just saying your signal integrity will be much better when you use a waxwing which might be important at higher resolution / fast pixel clocks05:38
FelixVi2saturn / waxwing are the same thing except for how you connect stuff to them - saturn comes with ft2232h on board but molex headers, waxwing without usb (use your own ez-sub fx2) + connectors rated for transmission lines05:40
FelixVi2either way, good night!05:41

abhasHi everyone -- need a bit of newbie help to update the firmware on an Opsis board. I have HDMI2USB-mode-switch installed and working. I have checked out the HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt.16:35
abhasI'm confused about which firmware to flash. I understand I need a .hex file and a .bit file. I tried to run the opsis-flash.sh script (from the mode-switch repo) but that only flashes a very firmware onto the opsis board.16:35
abhasI think I need to use opsis-manage-firmware to do the job and I need to pass the firmware files to it. So if someone can point out the syntax to use for this and which firmware files I should use, I can try that out.16:35
abhasAdditionally, I would be glad to document this in greater detail.16:35
*** CarlFK[m] has quit IRC16:41
*** jea[m] has quit IRC16:41

CarlFKv0.0.3-1045-gccb30b9-dirty works, but there are 5 revs after, and the only reason I didn't try them was the build bot was having troubles20:13

abhasBut then you do see the corresponding messages in dmesg and lsusb.20:32
abhasLet me try to flash again and see if that helps20:33
CarlFKwhat does lsusb show?20:33
CarlFKmy guess is you apt installed something (openocd?) that pulled in iso-jtag-something which has udev rules that mess things up20:34
abhasSo openocd installed only 1 set of udev rules which do not conflict with the ones that hdmi2usb installed. The opsis boards USB vendor ID is unique to the hdmi2usb udev rules file.20:38
abhasI think the problem is that after flashing the board remains in the JTAG mode even after a power cycle. So this time, I switched the mode to serial. And now I get the BIOS prompt.20:42

abhasthe encoder continues to show 0fps and there is no output on the encoder -- neither from input0 nor from pattern. Would this be a firmware issue?21:21
