xfxfCarlFK[m]: he's one of the new guys we're training up. make him feel welcome00:03
mithrowilliammckee: Cool00:03
xfxfI do need help with moving storage tho, seriously00:03

mithroxfxf: Dunno who you are expecting to respond? Are you after people still at the accommodation or people here at Google?00:09
xfxfboth ends. I'm omw there now and will figure it out when there00:09
mithrowilliammckee: So we have a git repo here -> https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt00:10
tpbTitle: GitHub - timvideos/HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt: Prebuilt firmware for the HDMI2USB devices (such as the Numato Opsis and the Digilent Atlys board) and OS drivers. (at github.com)00:10
mithrowilliammckee: In the opsis/firmware directory of that github repo are three symlinks (see https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt/tree/master/opsis/firmware)00:11
tpbTitle: HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt/opsis/firmware at master · timvideos/HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt · GitHub (at github.com)00:11
mithrowilliammckee: The unstable symlink is automatically updated00:11
mithrowilliammckee: We would like the stable/testing symlinks to be updated from the this spreadsheet -> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14BENNLHrGddCI5ZVyB87Tmwt3fnEcA19S776xIYSpVo/edit#gid=000:12
tpbTitle: HDMI2USB Firmware Versions - Google Sheets (at docs.google.com)00:12
mithrowilliammckee: The complication is that the repo ends up being like 18gigabytes when checked out on your disk00:13
ewenmithro: Having opened FGPA kit I'm assuming the difference between the USB-A and USB-C kits is the hub that's included?  And the FGPA board inside is the same?  (Only cable in bag that fits the FGPA board seems to be USB-A, presumably to go into the hub)00:13
mithroewen: correct00:13
mithrowilliammckee: There is a script here -> https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-litex-firmware/blob/master/.travis/download-prebuilt.sh -- which does a sparse, shallow clone of the repo which makes it much smaller00:14

ewenmithro: Between the preparation instructions and the "now with hardware connected" instructions the prompt changes from "(LX P=arty C=or1k.linux F=linux)" to "(LX P=arty C=or1k R=litex-linux)".  Is that indicative of missing steps?  Or older example in the documentation?00:57
mithroOlder example I think00:58
ewenCool, I'll tweak document for newer example.00:58
ewenmithro: Yes, memory initialisation failed when I did "make firmware-load"00:59
mithrorohitksingh: How are you going with fixing the memory issue?00:59
ewenFTR, memory failures on my attempt01:00
rohitksinghmithro: So, yesterday's fix didn't seem to work :/ I was synthesizing gateware for the second time when everyone left for the cabs I killed the synthesis process01:00

mithrorohitksingh: Okay, lets look at it together shortly01:01
mithroNeed to finish a presentation for the office first01:01
mithrowilliammckee: btw you all good?01:01
rohitksinghmithro: sure. meanwhile I'll restart the build and try to get it working01:02
ewenmithro: rohitksingh: I'd also like to sit in on looking at that to get an idea what you're changing.01:02

ewenHaving played a bit with trying to upate litex to pick up the RAM fixes, and studying "make gateware" output, it appears that these warnings might be related to DDR3 not working correctly:04:05
ewenWARNING: [DRC REQP-1839] RAMB36 async control check: The RAMB36E1 mor1kx/mor1kx_cpu/cappuccino.mor1kx_cpu/mor1kx_fetch_cappuccino/immu_gen.mor1kx_immu/itlb[0].itlb_match_regs/mem_reg has an input control pin mor1kx/mor1kx_cpu/cappuccino.mor1kx_cpu/mor1kx_fetch_cappuccino/immu_gen.mor1kx_immu/itlb[0].itlb_match_regs/mem_reg/ADDRARDADDR[10] (net:04:05
ewenmor1kx/mor1kx_cpu/cappuccino.mor1kx_cpu/mor1kx_fetch_cappuccino/immu_gen.mor1kx_immu/itlb[0].itlb_match_regs/ctrl_alu_result_o_reg[7][5]) which is driven by a register (FDPE_1) that has an active asychronous set or reset. This may cause corruption of the memory contents and/or read values when the set/reset is asserted and is not analyzed by the default static timing analysis. It is suggested to eliminate04:05
ewenthe use of a set/reset to registers driving this RAMB pin or else use a synchronous reset in which the assertion of the reset is timed by default.04:05
ewenThere's perhaps 30-ish of them (presumably different pins).04:05

ewenOf note, synthesis has 100 (exactly) "Unused sequential element [...] was removed"04:34
ewenWhich is possibly related to later warnings?04:34
ewenOverall synthesis of gateware has about 680 warnings (mostly in various groups of warnings repeated 10s/100s of times), not counting warnings about Verilog / SystemVerilog not specified04:38
jeaxfxf: if we have people email us (team@lca) about things involving AV, such as 'my talk has audio in it', should we forward that on to you? or would you like it handled somewhere else?04:57
jealike, we could probably give you access to an RT queue if you want. (not that I think you would :P)04:57
mithrohttps://theamphour.com/375-an-interview-with-tim-mithro-ansell/05:08
mithroI can't bare to listen to it.... Can someone check if it sounds okay :-P05:08
mithrorohitksingh: ^05:09
ewenmithro: listening now.  Both you and host say "umm"/"uh" a bunch, which in some recordings would get cleaned up.  But otherwise sounds great interview so far, lots of interesting information, on same level with rest of the Amp Hour interviews (I've heard a bunch of Amp Hour podcasts)05:24
*** futarisIRCcloud has quit IRC05:46
xfxfjea: forward would be good to ryan@nextdayvideo06:17
jeaxfxf: cool, will do06:17
ewenmithro: per pull request comment, RAM issues were fixed by building with rohitksingh/your changes; have been able to boot to H2U> prompt, and also telnet to CPU running on FPGA.  Moving on to getting it to boot Linux06:46
rohitksinghewen: awesome!06:49

_florent_hi, i should have updated all ddr3 parameters in the HDMI2USB-litex-firmware, i should have done that before, sorry for the troubles08:43
mithroHey _florent_08:44
_florent_hi mithro08:44

_florent_mithro: ok good, not sure how we'll do the merge, i'll probably pick up the commits of your pull request manually08:49
mithro_florent_: It would make future merging easier if you just merged the pull request08:52
mithro_florent_: What hardware / designs do you need to test with?08:52
_florent_mithro: ok then i'll comment on the pull request08:53
mithro_florent_: I'm trying to get things into a state were I can do automated merges much more easily08:54

mithro_florent_: I think he is starting with base :-P09:25
mithro_florent_: Give us a while, still getting computers in the right place and stuff :-P09:30
felix_rohitksingh: 'openocd -f board/kc705.cfg -c init -c "pld load 0 bitstream.bit" -c exit' is what i use to load the bitstream in the sram of the fpga on an ac701; doing that and then rebooting the machine works well for testing pcie stuff09:37
felix_if the netv2 uses a different programmer, you have to duplicate the kc705.cfg file and edit that accordingly09:38
