cr1901_modernI'm going to deliberately increase the SRAM size to force a compile, but why don't we see which beefy symbols/variables can be trimmed out if we are tight on SRAM (using a new preprocessor define as well)?00:12
mithrocr1901_modern: just use a smaller firmware to start with?00:13
cr1901_modernI suppose that works too as long as you don't have a problem with something like a "stub" firmware directory (analogous to what _florent_ has for tinyfpga-soc)00:16
cr1901_modernmithro: ^^00:26

fitzsimmithro: no, I've never built any RISC-V toolchain stuff before01:57
fitzsimmithro: for your purposes, I would just copy that recipe, and remove everything01:57
fitzsimmithro: then change all the relevant fields to point to an HX8K example bitfile01:58
fitzsimmithro: its "make" target should work, and generate a bit file in a recipe01:58
fitzsimmithro: since you're already at the point where you have all the iCE40 tools built, and staged in the sysroots01:58
shornemithro: I was asking about qemu devicetree on #qemu no response yet.  I looked more at the code, it seems there is not much 'configuration' done with device tree03:13
shornethe support in qemu is mostly for passing information to the kernel03:13
shorneie. qemu generates device tree details and passes that down to the kernel03:14
shorneMyabe we can do that? i.e. pass device tree details to kernel or litex bios? when running in qemu03:15

cr1901_modernmithro (If you're still awake): My sleep schedule is inverted (I've been working mostly at night the past few days). Chances are I'll make a PR for tinyfpga in litex-buildenv while you're asleep tonight.06:01
cr1901_modernmithro: Btw, perhaps we should consider moving some of the litex-buildenv firmare into its own support library that applications (such as stub firmware) can pick and choose to use. Just throwing darts and seeing what'll stick tho :P06:02

CarlFKmithro: I finely got around to "git fetch upstream; git rebase -i upstream/master; git push origin mybranch --force"06:59
xobsI seem to remember that one trick to quicker peripheral debugging is to remove the CPU.  However, I've changed BaseSoC.init() to specify cpu_type=None, and EtherboneSoC claims that "object has no attribute 'cpu_or_bridge'".  How do I have BaseSoC create a bridge?07:08
cr1901_modernxobs BaseSoC.add_cpu_or_bridge07:47
cr1901_modernthis could be documented better (<jest>PRs welcome</jest>)07:48
xobscr1901_modern: Should I add the Etherbone bridge?  Or, why isn't a bridge added when BaseSoC.__init__() is called?07:49
cr1901_modernxobs: TLDR; Yes to the first part, probably b/c you can add any WB peripheral you like to the bus as why __init__ doesn't create it.07:52
cr1901_modernWhile clearly, this level of internal impl shouldn't be necessary... The Etherbone bridge should have a "bus" attribute, and anything with the wishbone "bus" attribute can be passed on07:52
xobsThanks, I'll try self.add_cpu_or_bridge(self.etherbone.bridge) and see if that builds.07:55
xobsLiteEthEtherbone has no attribute 'bis' or 'bridge'07:57
xobs'bus' or 'bridge', my fault.07:57
cr1901_modernTry UARTWishboneBridge07:58
xobsThat makes it happy.  Why do I need to add a UARTWishboneBridge to it in order to get Ethernet working?  Does Ethernet go over UART?07:59
cr1901_modernYou don't07:59
cr1901_modernthat makes the UART work :)07:59
cr1901_modernI just wanted to see if it still worked07:59

xobsI'll probably need to rename the repo at some point, but I've cleaned up the wishbone stuff and refined litex-devmem2: https://github.com/xobs/wishbone-adapter09:43
tpbTitle: GitHub - xobs/wishbone-adapter: An adapter for the Wishbone network, and in particular the Ethernet interface (at github.com)09:43
xobsIt now supports using litex_server and communicating directly over Ethernet with "--target [addr] --direct"09:43
xobsIn litex, how do I designate a signal as "inout"?  I'm still working on the GPIO stuff.  At least now I know Wishbone is getting memory mapped properly (Though I'm not sure why I need the UART).10:06
xobsIn top.v, the pads are showing up as "input".  How do I designate something as "inout", like the mdio or dq pads?10:06
xobsAh, okay, I need to add another parameter to the Tristate module.  Let's see if this synthesizes.10:09

*** rohitksingh has joined #timvideos10:10
*** rohitksingh has quit IRC10:12
xobsIt does, but it doesn't work.  It seems like the "io_" prefix for an Instance enables "inout".  Let's see if I can drop down an "IOBUF".10:32
