daveshahI wonder if companies will change their mind once there is a full, practical bitstream flow for 7-series available....15:52

daveshahIt seems to still exist15:58
sorearhttps://www.isi.edu/sites/default/files/users/nsteiner/soni-2013-bitstream-fccm13.pdf +/unfavorable attention15:59
sorearhaven't found details on what "unfavorable attention" constitutes16:00
daveshahThe usual cease and desist notice, I would imagine16:00
daveshahI find it hard to imagine what Altera would be able to claim though16:01
sorearprobably.  I can't find any case files online for Altera and Jean-Baptiste Note or Éric Rannaud16:01
daveshahI highly doubt it ever got to the point of an actual case, that would certainly be heavily publicised16:02
daveshahCould have just been Altera threatening to remove the uni's freebies16:02
sorearoh that's very likely16:02
daveshahAltera don't mess about wrt bitstreams though - http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1302809.html16:06

philtorYeah, I thought Xilinx was similarly agressive, yet we're able to generate some Xilinx7 bitstreams with yosys - what happened there?16:25
awygleSmall point of order, Yosys can synthesize to the Xilinx primitives but not create a bitstream. That's project x-ray (have they actually generated any bitstreams yet?)16:29
philtoroh, I see.16:30
philtorSo you still need Vivado to go from those primitives (blif file?) to bitstream16:30
daveshahI think bitstream generation is working. It's place and route that's missing - but is certainly being worked on16:31
philtorhow do you get to bitstream without p&r?16:31
daveshahManually16:32
daveshahA language has been developed called "FPGA assembly"16:32
philtorlink? Google not returning anything relevant for "fpga assembly"16:35

kc8apfphiltor: we've only documented CLBs and interconnect so far. We patch an existing bitstream that sets up IOBs, etc.17:13
