micolous[m]ok02:30
micolous[m]Well I got it flashed and loaded the FX2 firmware02:30
micolous[m]Image is kinda trippy, using the test pattern02:31
micolous[m]I'll send you a photo02:31

shorne_nbags[m]: we are currently working on getting litex better fpga board+linux support for OpenRISC07:44
shorne_you can check out the HDMI2USB-litex-firmware07:44
shorne_on github07:45
nbags[m]Cool, is this the workshop at LCA?07:49
shorne_well, I guess we have been working on this for the last few months working up to the workshop07:54

mithroshorne_: It would also be good to see if you can build a rootfs for the or1k which works on our stuff -- at the moment the only person who can seems to be shorne_08:34
mithros/shorne_/shenki /08:34
shorne_cool, my hands are full right now with baby. ill try to get to it tonight. I have done 2 different rootfs's and they worked08:35
shorne_do you need insxns for that in the miniconf?08:36
shorne_mithro: or do you want to use a rootfs blob?08:36
mithroshorne_: We currently use a rootfs blob - but I would like some changes to the blob but shenki has run off08:37
shorne_mithro: buildroot right? what changes? when do you need them?08:38
mithroshorne_: I assume buildroot -- we can make do without them - but the sooner the better08:38
shorne_mithro: ok, are the changes required listed somewhere?08:40
shorne_or we just need something?08:40
mithroshorne_: Nope! Not yet :-P -- I only got to the stage about thinking of them08:40
shorne_ok, maybe ist them in the miniconf doc around the rootfs download part. Ill see it there08:41
shorne_mithro: "list" them08:42

rohitksingh-demomithro: something is really bad with cmod_a7....it resets my usb port every time after loading gateware...and we don't know FT2232 connections since schematic is proprietary and also we have no idea from where is the 12MHz clock coming from (directly sourced from crystal? not likely! from the FT2232? maybe yes, but OpenOCD takes control of that chip while programming)09:22
mithrorohitksingh-demo: Could you test the other cmod_a7 and see if it behaves the same way?09:23
rohitksingh-demomithro: okay09:23
rohitksingh-demomithro: okay the other one is 35t...rebuilding the gateware09:24
mithrorohitksingh-demo: I doubt its a bad board.... -- but it is worth checking I guess?09:28
*** ewen has joined #timvideos09:32
ewenmithro: In case it helps, I tried rebuilding from latest git master of arty/linux, and booting.  qemu boot seemed to get stuck forever (spinning CPU in qemu) at point it should be tftp booting, apparently without any tftp packets over tap0.  Boot on actual hardware still worked.09:34
ewenActual hardware says:09:34
ewenInitializing random number generator... done.09:34
ewenStarting network: ip: socket: Function not implemented09:34
ewenip: socket: Function not implemented09:34
ewenFAIL09:34
ewenStarting dropbear sshd: FAIL09:34
mithroewen: Try "git submodules update" and try again?09:34
ewenmithro: I thought I'd done that, but will try again.09:34
rohitksingh-demomithro: same with second one...I suspect openocd might be doing something to the ftdi which forces it to behave weirdly? interesting part is that bitstream is being programmed correctly, and there is some garbage on flterm and then ftdi resets09:36
rohitksingh-demoopenocd's ftdi interface basically takes control of all 16  pins of the ftdi channels...09:36
mithrorohitksingh-demo: Possibly?09:36
mithroewen: What commit are you on?09:37
rohitksingh-demowho knows how the rest of the pins are connected09:37
rohitksingh-demomaybe one of the pin generates the 12MHz clock09:37
rohitksingh-demoI'm 99% sure09:37
rohitksingh-demoand when openocd takes over ftdi control, it messes up the clock09:38

ewenmithro: Appears to be same result: works on actual hardware; qemu boot doesn't seem to generate packets on tap0, or make any progress (but consumes 1 core).09:54

* ewen tries rebooting entire laptop to clean up host kernel state (back in a bit)10:07
*** ewen has quit IRC10:07
*** ewen has joined #timvideos10:12
ewenmithro: No change after rebooting host kernel (ie, tap0 appears started correctly; tftpd appears started correctly; but qemu BIOS boot makes no progress after "Fetching from: UDP/6069" -- which should in theory either work or time out)10:13
ewenmithro: On a hunch, I rolled back to commit where I tested new BIOS TFTP booting (920d5122ed10111df16a3af70c913bc2b5729280), and that one seems to work (ie, boots to login: prompt in qemu)10:30

ewenmithro: FYI: configs/litex_defconfig (for Linux kernel) does not have CONFIG_NET (at all), which I think explains why in-Linux networking isn't happening.11:16
ewenmithro: It appears the rootfs loaded actually has a dropbear in it (sshd), which would probably work if networking were enabled, and there was a NIC driver working.11:16
