cr1901_modernmithro: When do you leave for Poland tomorrow?00:47
mithrocr1901_modern: Noon!00:47
cr1901_modernmithro: Let's get my PR merged before then and gauge how difficult the micropython port is, is that okay?00:47
mithrocr1901_modern: I'm hoping https://travis-ci.org/timvideos/litex-buildenv/builds/430312910 can be merged first00:48
mithrocr1901_modern: That is the submodule changes00:49
cr1901_modernRight, I updated the litex submodule in my PR for you, but merging in your changes (or rebasing on top) shouldn't be too difficult00:50
mithrocr1901_modern: I'd like to seperate the submodule update from your merge -- that should also mean we get nextpnr00:51
mithrocr1901_modern: So you don't get blamed for breaking things ;-)00:54
cr1901_modernHah...00:55
cr1901_modernWell, I'll merge in your changes when it's ready; I don't think a rebase is going to work since I updated the litex submodule manually before your PR, and rebasing on top will destroy your submodule updates on litex00:56
cr1901_modernIn the meantime I guess I'll start working on getting arty into litex-buildenv00:57

mithrocr1901_modern: Oh?01:08
cr1901_modernFor RISC-V testing, Litex will need to have the submodule VexRiscv-verilog updated to: d7bbc2c01:09
cr1901_modernWhich it is on my private tree, but I never made a PR for it01:09

mithrocr1901_modern: All green! So going to merge the submodule updates01:39
synaption[m]Hey all.  I have a quick random FPGA question if anybody want's to chime in.  Is vivado backwards compatible.  I feel like I have had problems running projects I find online that were made on older versions, but some people have expressed that this should not be the case leading me to believe that it's user error on my part.  Any ideas?01:40

mithrocr1901_modern: Merged!01:46

synaption[m]I don't think I have spelunked that particular github page, but I'm aware of Litex and a few of its many intricacies.01:59
synaption[m]actually wanting to play with the Litex PCI bus is one of the reasons I'm trying to migrate my vivado stuff over from windows to ubuntu, but it seems as though installing the most up to date 2018.2 version was a foolish mistake on my part since everything seems to support 2017.402:02
cr1901_modernmithro: Still testing my PR to litex. If this works, I can go ahead and test riscv for tinyfpga in litex-buildenv as well02:13
cr1901_modernMight as well while I'm poking around02:13
mithrocr1901_modern: Your change is lm32 for tinyfpga_bx?02:20
cr1901_modernmithro: The PR as it stands on Github, right now, is for lm32 only. I didn't finish all the machinery to test vexriscv yet, but am close to doing so02:21
mithrocr1901_modern: Okay, so we should still merge it, right?02:21
cr1901_modernNot yet, b/c I haven't tested your new commits/merged it yet :)02:22
cr1901_modernI guess you'd rather get lm32 working in this PR, and I can submit riscv separately?02:22
mithrocr1901_modern: Can I push the rebase to your pull request?02:23
cr1901_modernmithro: If you've already done it, go for it02:25

cr1901_modernyea, risc-v is gonna have to be a separate PR- can't get it to work right now :P02:36
cr1901_modernmithro: Does litex-buildenv _not_ install its own binaries if it finds certain binaries already on your path?02:48
cr1901_modernI just noticed- I already have my own copies of yosys, nextpnr, in ~/.local/bin on my Linux box. . ./scripts/enter-env.sh happily uses them, but doesn't indicate whether they were found or not02:49
mithrocr1901_modern: I'm working on that right now02:49
cr1901_modernWell, _is_ there a way to override it so you can use your own binaries :P?02:49
cr1901_modern(Just wondering)02:50

ewencr1901_modern: FYI, tinyprog should run okay under Python 3.5+ (and IIRC litex-buildenv currently uses Python 3.6).  Eg, https://tinyfpga.com/bx/guide.html recommends users install Python 3.6.  And I did get it to run with Python 3.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.09:19
tpbTitle: TinyFPGA BX User Guide (at tinyfpga.com)09:19
cr1901_modernOh nevermind then09:20
cr1901_modernsome of the programmers (tinyfpga_a) are only python209:20
ewencr1901_modern: I'm not 100% sure how tinyprog is being installed into litex-buildenv.  It's possible it's got, eg, #! /usr/bin/python at the top of it by default, which probably makes it run under python2.  But I think in theory it'd be fine if that were swapped with path to the conda python3 install of litex-buildenv09:24
