futarisIRCcloudmithro: I take it no one is working on the qemu litevideo peripheral? Do we want to get a linux framebuffer output driver for litevideo working first, or qemu?02:11
futarisIRCcloudmithro: I think I figured out the issue with the hsync and vsync not running / clocking out of litevideo VGAPhy. Should just have to drive a signal or two high, to say the output is valid.02:13

rohitksinghfutarisIRCcloud: okay, let me take a look. I also can give your current design a try this weekend07:28
futarisIRCcloudrohitksingh: Cheers. A lot of hacks are in the code, but it should just boot up into 1280x720 on arty 7 if you export MACHINE=video . Not sure why it's not clocking the data out.07:30
futarisIRCcloudclk & psave_n are not connected on PMOD-VGA connector, so I was just using them for debug output of clk.07:43
futarisIRCcloudT13 / U13.07:43
rohitksinghfutarisIRCcloud: sure, let me give it a try07:46
gsmalikHey everyone. I've been working with mithro on the version_data python script. After a couple of days of pull requests and revisions, I think we are close to closing the issue. So, if someone would like me to look at another bug, please let me know :)08:02

_florent_futarisIRCcloud: great progress, i'll have a look at what you did. It seems you still have some issues (color and image shift), but it will be easier to fix now that you have something on the screen17:32
felix[m]1Hi everybody! I found a Nexys Video unused in our lab, and have been playing around with it and trying to learn liteX and understand your cool project! Setting up the build chain was a breeze (happy to report that things seem to work well with Ubuntu 18.04 beta), but I've only used Vivado's graphical interface so far and haven't be able to figure out how the gateware is loaded to the board from the command line (). Could17:40
felix[m]1you help me get unstuck (a quick pointer will do, e.g. use an SD card/specific tool)? I'd be happy to17:40
felix[m]1(whoops, sorry, that was premature :-) )17:41
felix[m]1Wanted to say ... I'd be happy to extend the makefile (though this looks like a larger project, since mode-switch isn't implemented at all for the Nexys Video, maybe that's out of reach for a noob like me)17:42
mithrohello felix[m]117:45
mithrofelix[m]1: You should be able to use openocd to load onto the Nexys Video17:45
mithrofelix[m]1: But I haven't tested it recently17:45
mithrofutaris[m]: Take a look at https://github.com/timvideos/litex-buildenv/blob/master/targets/arty/Makefile.mk17:46
tpbTitle: litex-buildenv/Makefile.mk at master · timvideos/litex-buildenv · GitHub (at github.com)17:46
felix[m]1Hi mithro, hej futaris! (sorry for the weird username on my part, that's made up by the matrix bridge) Thanks for your super-quick responses, I'll look into openocd and the build files for the other boards!17:48
mithrofelix[m]1: You just happen to get lucky - normally it would take a little bit longer17:48
felix[m]1Sure! Still, I'm impressed at how lively things are around here, and super-glad to be unstuck so quickly.17:52
felix[m]1I've found a minor typo (I think) in one of the commands in the getting started guide, would you like me to point it out, or would you prefer a PR?17:52

CarlFK[m]*maybe* a description of how things relate, like "qemu-litex can be used to hack on some of the hdmi2usb"  but A) that's going to take a bit to edit it all up and B) I don't think it will really do anyone any good....20:22

CarlFK[m]hdmi2usb is currently the only active project20:24
mithrovoctomix is active?20:25
CarlFK[m]active = things "we" are working on20:26
CarlFK[m]this is all kinda fuzzy.20:27

CarlFK[m]that is a big "if"20:30
CarlFK[m]like.. we would want to talk to the voc folk first, i wouldn't expect anything to be merged in, I would expect to get a bit of their time (either mentor, or back channel mentoring20:30
CarlFK[m]and none of this seems like it would be as 'good' as even a poor fpga proposal20:31
CarlFK[m]there seems to be much more room for work on the hdmi2usb project - I see voctomix as a distraction20:32
mithroI would prefer a good voctomix proposal rather then a poor fpga proposal20:32
mithroCarlFK[m]: It's also good from a SEO / functionality point of view to have all the projects listed on that page20:36
mithroCarlFK[m]: I think we should also start calling it the "TimVideos group" or something like that -- "TimVideos is a group of people trying to advance projects to make live streaming easy...." or something like that?20:37
mithroCarlFK[m]: One of the TimVideos project's is the HDMI2USB.tv project... People in the TimVideos group also collaborate heavily with the C3VOC, Apertus and DebConf Video teams....?20:38
CarlFK[m]yeah - that's another fuzzy that I'm not to sure how to deal with20:39
mithroTimVideos team?20:39
CarlFK[m]I mean, I have no clue what Apertus is.20:40
CarlFK[m]ah - its axiom20:41
CarlFK[m]there is value in the tv brand recognition.  not sure it matters how well defined tv is20:43
CarlFK[m]SEO ... for that I can write up 2 paragraphs of "what we are doing" and "what we have done"20:44
mithroGod I hate writing tests, even though it objectively makes me a lot more productive and I love *having* them20:45
CarlFK[m]er, .. maybe 3.. stand by ;)20:45
mithroApertus == TimVideos,   axiom == Numato Opsis20:46
