jeanthomAre there any docs for DQSBUFI (ECP5)?20:09
daveshahYou mean DQSBUFM?20:09
jeanthomnope20:10
daveshahThe "high speed IO interface" pdf has some info on it20:10
daveshahotherwise you can read the sim model20:10
daveshahDQSBUFI sounds like a primitive for another device20:10
jeanthomhttp://www.latticesemi.com/-/media/LatticeSemi/Documents/UserManuals/1D2/FPGA-IPUG-02098-1-1-DDR3-SDRAM-PHY-Radiant-SW.ashx?document_id=5281120:10
jeanthomoops not this one20:11
jeanthomhttp://www.latticesemi.com/-/media/LatticeSemi/Documents/UserManuals/E---I-Folder-3/FPGA-IPUG-02047-2-1-DDR3-SDRAM-Controller-IP.ashx?document_id=3611520:12
jeanthomthat one20:12
jeanthom"The ECP5 DQSBUFI block supports a dynamic READ signal positioning function called read training"20:12
daveshahThe ECP5 native primitive is DQSBUFM20:12
daveshaheither that is from a very early Diamond version or a typo20:12
jeanthomWhy would it be from a very early version of Diamond?20:14
daveshahPerhaps, an early version had a different name, idk20:14
daveshahThere is no DQSBUFI primitive in the Diamond 3.11 Verilog libraries anyway20:15
jeanthomah, ok20:15
jeanthomyep I couldn't find DQSBUFI in here20:15
jeanthomI was wondering if it was a primitive reserved for internal use or just a typo20:16
daveshahAh, it was an ECP4 primitive, I've found it in my copy of Diamond 2.020:16
cr1901_modernWhat, does that run on DOS or something :P?20:18

daveshahhttps://www.latticesemi.com/en/About/Newsroom/PressReleases/2012/201207LatticeDiamond20SoftwareUnleashesPowerfulDesignTools20:18
tpbTitle: 2012-07 - Lattice Diamond 2.0 Software Unleashes Powerful Design Tools - Lattice Semiconductor (at www.latticesemi.com)20:18
daveshah> twelve 6Gbps SERDES20:18
jeanthomWasn't aware that the ECP4 even existed!20:18
daveshahit only exists in landfill20:18
jeanthomhaha why20:19
daveshahperhaps a few dusty drawers of abandoned giveaway dev boards20:19
daveshahit was scrapped shortly after the first samples were given to customers20:19
jeanthomah that's sad20:19
daveshahLattice suddenly realised they couldn't compete with Xilinx et al. and decided to pivot towards cheap/really low end instead20:20
daveshahI have a suspicion they did some big yield optimisations between ECP4 and ECP520:21
cr1901_modernWell that wasn't that long ago... but 3.11 is a lot more than 2.020:21
daveshahIf anyone does have an ECP4 dev board lying around (any big Lattice customers here??) I would love to buy it...20:22
daveshahAt least Nexus does reintroduce a lot of the nice features from the ECP4 that the ECP5 dropped; like 8x/10x IO gearing, fabric-accessible dynamic PLL configuration, separate IO CDR blocks20:24
awygleif only it came cheaper20:33
daveshahIt's hard to tell if Nexus is just super pricy or Lattice have gone for Xilinx style ludicrous single/low qty pricing - either way a shame after the ECP520:34
daveshahIt would also be nice to be able to buy it at all, availability now seems to be Feb-March 202120:35
jeanthommouser has some devboards in stock, but no chips :(20:36
cr1901_moderneconomies of scale sucks20:36
daveshahThe current devboard stocks are also probably still ES silicon, and I believe that will be dropped in new Radiant versions - as well has having some totally undocumented set of bugs20:37
cr1901_modernEarly Samples?20:38
daveshahengineering sample20:38
awyglei'm kind of hoping they have bad yield on all the hard IP blocks20:44
awygleand if we get a more vanilla fabric version it'll be cheaper20:44
awygleor else market-positioned lower even if not actually cheaper for them20:44
awyglethat may be wishful thinking though20:44
daveshahI was hoping that with the Certus NX (removing the Mixel MIPI core) but sadly that didn't work out20:45
daveshahI reckon the Certus is the most vanilla-fabric one there will be20:45
daveshahThere are two more parts planned in the near/medium future. My best guess, based on what has been hinted so far in various ways, is one iCE40 successor (small packages, low power, no SERDES/PCIe/MIPI) and one ECP5 successor (up to ~150k LUT4, SERDES and PCIe)20:47
cr1901_modernWhere does MachXO5 fit into it?20:48
daveshahThey'll have to get reliable flash working on their 28nm FDSOI first20:48
daveshahI doubt MachXO is moving soon, MachXO3D was only just released20:49
cr1901_modernthat was also another thinly-veiled "Lattice can't count" joke :)20:49
daveshahEh, PSION didn't like 4 either20:49
cr1901_modern4 is a superstituous number in some parts of the world20:51
