mithroshenki: I'm pretty sure OpenOCD does work but don't have time now to look into it05:52
mithroshenki: "early_printk working on actual hardware!" has some explanation on the patches05:52
mithroshenki: The major patch needed apart from drivers to make LiteX work is support for EVBAR in head.S this is complicated by the fact we can't touch anything at the time we need to stash it -- currently I use a hack to stash EVBAR into r0 which the ABI says should be set to zero. See https://github.com/mithro/linux-litex/commit/edd416193fe9992cb9a512f325bc1e49f6aa673e05:53
tpbTitle: Fix the register clobbering. · mithro/linux-litex@edd4161 · GitHub (at github.com)05:53
mithro - enabling printing of exceptions with litex-uart05:54
mithro - relating to the evbar setup05:54
mithro - mmu hacking05:54
mithro - some save/restoring of registers, I think this is so we preserve the evbar state?05:54
shenkiokay. so you take advantage of the fact that the load/store GPR macros use offsets from r0 in order to load/store their values relative to evbar05:55
mithroNot sure - it was a long time ago...05:55
mithroI think I was just using r0 as a know register which didn't any user data05:56
mithros/know/known/05:56
shenkiyou wrap the macros EXCEPTION_T_STORE_GPR30 in a _SETUP/_CLEAR macro05:56
shenkiand those EXCEPTION_T_STORE_GPRX macros do "l.sw    0x78(r0),r30"05:57
mithrobecause if we try to push / pop EVBAR anything off the stack we can hit a second fault05:57
shenkithat's a load r30 into r0+0x78, yeha?05:57
mithroshenki: Can you link me to the code - I can't recall from memory :-P06:02
shenkiyou just linked me to it :)06:04

tpbTitle: Fix the register clobbering. · mithro/linux-litex@edd4161 · GitHub (at github.com)06:05
shenkierr, that didn't work06:05
shenkiline 6206:05
shenkiyour SETUP macro does a load from the EVBAR special register into zero06:05
mithro+#define TEMPORARY_SETUPl.mfsprr0,r0,SPR_EVBAR06:06
shenkiand then on line eg. 96 you can see what the GPR load/store does06:06
shenki#define EXCEPTION_STORE_GPR9l.sw    0x10(r0),r906:06
shenki#define EXCEPTION_LOAD_GPR9l.lwz   r9,0x10(r0)06:06
shenki#define EXCEPTION_STORE_GPR9      l.sw    0x10(r0),r906:06
shenki#define EXCEPTION_LOAD_GPR9       l.lwz   r9,0x10(r0)06:06
shenkithat's load r9 into 0x10 + r0, and store r9 into 0x10 + r0?06:07
mithro#define EXCEPTION_T_STORE_GPR30l.sw    0x78(r0),r3006:07
mithroyeah06:08
mithroI think you are right06:08
shenkicool06:08
shenkiwe could change the kernel ABI to use one of the GPRs to always have the value of the EVBAR in it06:08
shenkishorne might have other ideas on how to solve the problem06:09
mithroYeah06:09
mithroIt was a temporary hack until a better solution was found06:09
shenkiyep06:10
shenkiit did the trick06:10
shenkikeen to get it sorted this week, so we can get the patches ready before christmas06:10
mithroI feel like there is something about setting EVBAR...06:11
mithroI don't know why I do the setup clear after a bunch of loads...06:12
shenkiyou need to make sure r0 contains zero for the rest of the code06:13
mithroI think there is some interaction between hitting a page boundary while stack pushing/poping...06:13
shenkimithro: the bit on line 900ish is different to the register saving stuff. do you recall what that was about?06:21
mithroshenki: I'm pretty sure that by fixing the tovirt/__ava macros those lines are not needed any more06:22
shenkiokay. you don't use the tovirt macro anywhere :)06:23
mithroshenki: Other macros do I believe06:23
shenkii grepped the source tree, there's no users06:23
shenkiyou did change tophys, so perhaps that was enough to fix that code?06:24
mithroshenki: I seem to recall it's obfuscated in some way...06:24
shenkiokay. it still builds and boots when they are deleted06:25
mithroNFI then...06:25
shenkiok06:25
shenkiin the version of the patches i've been using, the LOAD_SYMBOL_2_GPR(r6,CSR_REGION_START) code is commented out06:25
shenkioh. that code is making it so the virtual address space == physical for the first chunk of memory06:27
shenkiwhich is where head.S does all of it's storing of stuff06:28
shenkii wonder if you were trying to make that cover EVBAR and up instead?06:28

shornemithro: shenki: I am not to sure what you are looking at without reading more of the history12:31
shornesetting r0 to non zero is not good, also for litex case I think evbar can be set once are remain the same ?12:32
*** rohitksingh_work has quit IRC12:40
shenkiyeah. mithro's hacks are not to change evbar12:47
shenkibut to make sure that the laods/saves of GPRs are relative to EVBAR in head.S12:47
shenkii've tried to split the patches into different functional changes. it's still a bit rough12:48

cr1901_modernOkay, so XMODEM firmware upload is about to be merged in. I've confirmed that it works on my end; could someone else with a mimasv2 or opsis check out my branch (xfer-fw),14:45
cr1901_moderndo a full build, and confirm that upload works by attempting to upload the same firmware file? https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-litex-firmware/pull/37014:45
tpbTitle: Add writable SPI flash and XMODEM xfer support by cr1901 · Pull Request #370 · timvideos/HDMI2USB-litex-firmware · GitHub (at github.com)14:45
cr1901_modernI've provided two convenience scripts- getcrc32.py and write_firm.sh to automate the process. This requires you to have the "rz" package installed14:47
cr1901_modernTo build the XMODEM upload code requires meson b/c the code is provided as a submodule14:47
cr1901_modernOf of course travis is gonna fail14:52
cr1901_modernIt has no concept of meson.py14:52
cr1901_modernmithro: I presume you want me to take care of fixing travis :P?14:55
*** abhas has joined #timvideos15:54

danielkiso I finally managed to flash our opsis using prebuilt firmware16:32
danielkinow how do I switch the thing back to operational mode?16:32
danielki"hdmi2usb-mode-switch --mode operational" says it's not implemented16:32
danielkipower cycling always gets me into jtag mode16:35
felix_shenki: i'm not sure if the arty uses the digilent-hs1 or the digilent hs-2 programmer; if it's the hs1 variant this should work: openocd -f board/kc705.cfg -c init -c "pld load 0 bitstream.bit" -c exit16:49
danielkinever mind, I found the problem; a rogue ixo-usb-jtag.rules file16:49
felix_if it's the hs2 variant, you have to create a different board cfg file, but that's easy (maybe there is even some board cfg file with the right programmer)16:50

shenkifelix_: thanks! How do I discover what the programmer is?23:40
shenkifelix_: i thought it was just a ftdi chip that spoke jtag to the fpga23:41
shenkifelix_: and we need the correct FPGA bitstream loaded so it can then talk to the SPI flash23:41
felix_look at the output of lspci and then check the two programmer definition files in openocd23:52
felix_on how to use the proxy bitstream for flashing have a look at the comment at the end of the kc705 board config file23:52
felix_the command i wrote is just for loading the bitstream into the fpga and not for writing the flash23:52
