F4PGASlackBridge<fahrenkrog> Question... Regarding Xilinx's announcement that they are joining ChipsAlliance if I understand correctly, what does it mean for F4PGA in practical terms and project development? Will I be able in some not too distant future go to Xilinx's webpage and find docs on how to do some open source project?04:18

lkclthat would be fantastic11:56
lkclgatecat: btw you will be delighted to know that libre-soc's core using nmigen works with nextpnr-xilinx on a digilent arty a7-100t12:11
lkcli have the patches upstreamed in nmigen to support nextpnr-xilinx, i had to alter them slightly because there are FPGA IOpads that are actually supported which symbiflow does not12:12
lkcli did however have to use symbiflow's FPGA prjxray-db12:13
lkcllike microwatt, libre-soc is *big* (it's just how ppc64 is, particularly when you have an MMU) so is using something like 60% of the 100t iirc, and that's with drastically-reduced-size L1 caches12:15
lkclso it's a good litmus stress-test, pushing the boundaries of nextpnr-xilinx12:15
lkclbuild time is *significantly* less than for symbiflow.12:16
lkcliirc, somewhere around the 10-15min mark as opposed to [of-the-order-of] 90m for symbiflow, for the exact same design12:17
F4PGASlackBridge<hansfbaier> Is the soc available on GitHub?15:16
lkclhansfbaier: we run our own git servers (otherwise "Libre" is meaningless!). https://git.libre-soc.org15:31
tpbTitle: git.libre-soc.org Git (at git.libre-soc.org)15:31
lkcleasiest automated way to get reproducible unattended installs is with the devscripts https://libre-soc.org/HDL_workflow/devscripts/15:32

cr1901Is there a mapping of old repos to new names anywhere?22:20
cr1901Okay for the f4pga tools I have checked out, I needed to make the following adjustments:22:36
cr1901(These were all done via symlinks from a directory called "f4pga", and symlink to dirs with a directory called "symbiflow", btw)22:37
cr1901symbiflow-arch-defs => f4pga-arch-defs22:37
cr1901python-symbiflow-v2x => f4pga-v2x22:37
cr1901yosys-symbiflow-plugins => yosys-f4pga-plugins22:37
cr1901vtr-xml-utils => vtr-xml-utils22:38
cr1901vtr-verilog-to-routing => vtr-verilog-to-routing22:38
cr1901I need to update where the default branches are pointing next, so I'll have a similar list for those soon22:38
cr1901https://github.com/SymbiFlow/python-symbiflow-v2x.git => https://github.com/chipsalliance/f4pga-v2x.git22:43
cr1901https://github.com/verilog-to-routing/vtr-verilog-to-routing.git stays the same22:44
cr1901https://github.com/SymbiFlow/vtr-xml-utils.git => https://github.com/chipsalliance/vtr-xml-utils22:45
cr1901https://github.com/chipsalliance/f4pga-v2x stays the same (looks like I updated this a while ago maybe?)22:48
cr1901https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs.git => https://github.com/SymbiFlow/f4pga-arch-defs22:50
cr1901And I think that covers it22:50

cr1901(Oh, and master => main for symbiflow-arch-defs)22:52
lkclcr1901, that's a really helpful list.  it does look like redirects are in place which helps in the meantime22:53
