cr1901_modern_florent_: Did you see my msgs yesterday?09:36
cr1901_modern_florent_: In any case I think reverse=True for the up/downconverter is going to need to be a configurable parameter for the SD card core.09:37
*** f15h_ has quit IRC09:37
cr1901_modernor changed to reverse=False b/c I can't use reverse=True for my intended application; the BIST should work fine with rev=False09:38
*** f15h_ has joined #timvideos09:42
_florent_cr1901_modern: Reverse=True or False only has a meaning if you are writing/reading the SDCard with an external reader. We could add a parameter for that yes if needed09:48
_florent_cr1901_modern: if SDCard is only accessed by the core, there it does not make any difference09:49
*** f15h_ has quit IRC09:52
*** f15h_ has joined #timvideos09:52
cr1901_modern_florent_: I don't understand what you mean by "if SDCard is only accessed by the core, there it does not make any difference"09:57
cr1901_modern_florent_: AFAICT, there's no way to access the SDCard "only by the core". The public interface that the core exposes requires you to go through the up/downconverters.09:58
cr1901_modern>We could add a parameter for that yes if needed10:00
cr1901_modernIn any case, I would appreciate that and I'll send it as part of the PR. I'm implementing a wishbone buffer for litesdcard. But reverse=True isn't going to work10:00
_florent_cr1901_modern: yes then what i'm meaning if your up/downconverters are using the same reverse parameter, you don't really have to know how data are store in the SDCard10:00
_florent_cr1901_modern: this is only useful if you access the SDCard content by putting it in an external ready10:00
_florent_reader10:00
cr1901_modern_florent_: Okay, thank you for clarifying. And I agree with that.10:01
cr1901_modern_florent_: If you want to share the SD card between systems however, every system is going to read the SD card contents as how they were stored in RAM.10:02
cr1901_modernreverse=True doesn't work for this, b/c it will store the most significant byte of a 32-bit word first => least significant byte10:03
cr1901_modernThe SD spec also says "store least significant byte first, up to most significant byte". For the BIST, this doesn't matter b/c as you said, the BIST doesn't care how the data is stored on the card.10:05
cr1901_modern(And the card itself doesn't care either, for that matter).10:05
cr1901_modern_florent_: For interoperability between two computers however, I think the default parameter for reverse should be changed10:06
_florent_cr1901_modern: we could change the default yes10:08
cr1901_modern_florent_: Just to make sure. Do you understand why I want to change the default?10:09
cr1901_modernI feel like I might've did a poor job explaining :(10:09

*** Kripton has joined #timvideos10:22
_florent_cr1901_modern: yes i think i understand, you just want to change the physical order of the bytes in the sdcard.10:24
futarisIRCcloud_florent_: Yep. The endianness should be the same as on other systems.10:25
_florent_cr1901_modern: i just don't understand why it's causing you issue since in any case you are using the up/down converter10:26

cr1901_modern_florent_: What if I want to read the SD card on other systems10:37
cr1901_modernor write a file to the SD card on another system "A", eject it from system "A", and then bring it over to a design "B" running litesdcard?10:37
cr1901_modernRight now litesdcard reads/writes bytes in a way that _even if_ we "dd" a file from an external system directly onto the SD card (i.e. without a FAT filesystem), litesdcard will read it out incorrectly.10:39
cr1901_modernalso if litesdcard writes to a file, and we "dd" the SD card's contents onto another system, each 32-bit word of "dd's output" will be stored in the wrong order10:41
*** f15h_ has joined #timvideos10:43
*** f15h has quit IRC10:45
_florent_cr1901_modern: i haven't really looked at that. I'm fine if you think we should inverse order, you can fix that and create a pull request.11:02
cr1901_modern_florent_: Ty will do. I will put it as part of my overall PR to add a default interface from reading from a soft-core11:04

CarlFK[m]for tv.us/projects  how does this sound:21:41
CarlFK[m]QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and virtualizer.21:41
CarlFK[m]It can be used to emuilate LiteX soft core cpu and thus help with LiteX fpga development.21:41

CarlFK[m]mithro (IRC): thanks.  ill use that23:24
CarlFK[m]mithro (IRC): qustion about the state of things - page says "Currently to do firmware development you need access to FPGA hardware."23:25
CarlFK[m]isn't qemu working such that you don't need hardware?23:25
mithroCarlFK[m]: Also see the random notes document23:25

mithroCarlFK[m]: Did you see the "Tools for onboarding new contributors!" email I forwarded you?23:26
CarlFK[m]I think so - I skim over most gsoc stuff looking for anything new23:27
CarlFK[m]still not sure if the "Currently  ..need access to FPGA hardware." is still accurate23:29
mithroCarlFK[m]: To do firmware development with video it does23:29
mithroBut some basic stuff can now be done without FPGA hardware....23:29
mithrobblr23:29
CarlFK[m]mithro (IRC): wont that always be the case ?23:29
mithroCarlFK[m]: QEMU could emulate the video input/output peripherals (in fact it could even possibly connect them to gstreamer pipes)....23:30
CarlFK[m]jea: NUK!!!23:31
