MoeIcenowyshould we have something that reduces the DRAM's rank for LiteDRAM?03:54
MoeIcenowySTLV7325's DRAM slot is wired with 2R capability, but the SODIMM module shipped with it is only 1R03:55
cr1901https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801088848039.html Hmmm, this isn't a bad price, considering the FPGA itself is worth over $1k ._.04:29

somloMoeIcenowy, cr1901: it might be a geo-location thing; I can view that link w/o logging in with no trouble11:36
somlothat's the stlv7325-v2 I just bought; so far I can confirm the built-in 1G ddr sodimm, uart, and sdcard work great with litex11:37
somlothe rj45 rgmii ethernet works in test-mode with the designer-provided bitstream, but no joy with liteeth (yet)11:38
somloalso no joy with the built-in sata port11:38
somloseller promised schematics "soon", hoping to learn more once I get those :)11:39
somloI have a partial platform and target for it, and am preparing a litex-boards PR 11:41
MoeIcenowysomlo: well maybe I was detected to be in China13:48
MoeIcenowysomlo: did you tested UDP with the test bitstream?13:48
MoeIcenowythe two LEDs on the board is just the PHY LEDs13:48
MoeIcenowywith the IP addresses and MAC address described in the document13:48
MoeIcenowythe board will try to loopback UDP packets13:49
MoeIcenowysomlo: how about GMII one?13:49
MoeIcenowy(BTW I am also considering to re-buy a stlv7325 v2, this time with FMC13:50
somloMoeIcenowy: I am planning to find an rj45 sfp to test the sfp slots as well at some point in the immediate future (just need to drive into the office and dig around my junk drawer(s) :)14:13
somlobut with seller-provided rgmii (A and B) bitstream, I can see the board generate traffic on the network by running wireshark on the other end, no need to look for blinky LEDs14:13
somloLMK if you're going to get a v2, and I'll push my (partial) platform file to github so we can work on it together :)14:14
somloand yeah, the one I ordered did come with an FMC connector (for a small extra charge, true, but worth keeping options open for the future)14:16

MoeIcenowysomlo: I didn't buy mine v1 with FMC15:22
MoeIcenowyso it's why I am considering rebuying15:22
MoeIcenowywell I never tried my SFP...16:41
MoeIcenowymaybe I should try to grab some GbE SFP modules (because LiteETH does not support 10GE)16:42
cr1901MoeIcenowy: The ali express page was a link to the board you mentioned (STLV732)16:42
MoeIcenowycr1901: okay16:42
cr1901was curious what type of board it was/how much it cost16:42
MoeIcenowydecent for a quad core rocket ;-)16:42
cr1901It is $200-something, while the FPGA on the STLV732 costs $1000+ alone... huh...16:43
MoeIcenowywell the price of FPGAs are just not reasonable at all16:43
cr1901You can't even get them16:43
cr1901FPGAs don't exist anymore thanks to the parts shortage. Once we exhaust the remaining supply, that's it :)16:44
* cr1901 is joking, but the parts shortage _is_ bad16:44
MoeIcenowywell I remember the price of STM32F103 is driven to more than CNY10016:45
MoeIcenowybtw such chips may be refurbished or bought from some FPGA mass customers (thus it has a low price, and sometimes the code on the package is masked out for hiding who the chip is bought from)16:47
MoeIcenowyfor the price of refurbished FPGAs... remember EBAZ4205? ;-)16:47
cr1901. remember EBAZ4205 <-- I don't :o17:01
cr1901Looks like a BTC miner card from back when FPGA mining was feasible17:02
cr1901But my own experience is that FPGA miners were absolute shit quality even when FPGA mining was feasible (Butterfly Labs)17:02

zypcr1901, it's not for FPGA mining, it's for managing mining ASICs19:19
cr1901ahhh oops19:30

somlogot rgmii ethernet working on the stlv7325-v2; needed to adjust tx_ and rx_delay (to 1e-9) when configuring the PHY in the target file21:55
somloso all I've got left to figure out is sata21:56
somlohttps://github.com/gsomlo/litex-boards/tree/gls-stlv7325-v222:18
somlosuccessfully tested rj45, sdcard, ram, and uart22:19
somlosata not yet working22:19
somloother connectors (fmc, hdmi, sfp, and others) not tested22:19
somlowill submit PR once i get sata working, the rest is less of a big deal for my use case :)22:20
