S3 FPGA clock max frequency in Datasheet

Hi, The 1.0 datasheets lists 10 MHz as the max frequency for anything in "FPGA Domain" ( page 66 ). Is that just filler until you get real numbers ? That seems pretty slow and since you have some USB core running there, I would expect it can at least go up to 48 MHz. (for some context, I'm...

RAM blocks in S3 programmable logic

Hi, Is there any examples on how to use RAM blocks in the S3 ? Doesn't look like there is any inference support (which is fine, tbh I often prefer to instanciate them). I see a ram8k_2x1_cell_macro in the cells_sim.v from yosys but : * No documentation I could find. * Is it for 2 blocks at a time ? ...

Re: First impressions on FPGA toolchain

Great about the PR. Posted my result in it.
The requirement for the v2x patch above to deal with changes in yosys 'select' is a bit annoying since applying the patch breaks the old yosys AFAICT :/

Too bad about David, nextpnr sure could use some other devs.

Re: First impressions on FPGA toolchain

So the issue above was because I'm using a more recent yosys (on top of which I merged the QL branch).
In newer yosys whitebox blocks are not considered during 'select' operation by default and so v2x needed patching : See https://pastebin.com/tJjzTaiG

Re: First impressions on FPGA toolchain

Same error as above when trying to run the test. Something goes wrong when the xml are generated and they're not valid, no clue why ... I included the full build log (zipped because this forum doesn't allow .txt or .log attachements :/) There is plenty of warnings durin build , but no idea if they a...

First impressions on FPGA toolchain

Hi, I got the link to the toolchain this morning, so I thought I'd give it a try to build it. And yes, build it. I'm not interesting in "Installers" or anything like that, the whole point of the OSS toolchain is I can integrate it in my existing flow and environment. The first part, yosys ...
