stekernaccessing wishbone peripherals from the arm works now02:59
stekernolofk: I updated the pull request to include the avalon to wishbone bridge as weel03:00
stekern*well03:00
stekernI should make some testbenches for those, but the altera BFMs are some encrypted crap that only works in modelsim...03:01

hansfbaierstekern: Do you have any idea what to do with the HSMC connector on the SocKit board? It seems to be pretty hard to find anything useful on google/ebay/aliexpress06:13
stekernhansfbaier: don't know, I would probably buy something like this: http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=67&No=32207:03
hansfbaierstekern: ah thanks07:11
hansfbaierstekern: wow this cable is more expensive than the board. Crazy!07:12

stekernthis is cheaper http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&No=275#section07:15
olofkpoke53283: (ycombinator) Ahh.. so that's why there was a torrent of tweets about jor1k today. Nice to see. Congratulations and good work07:20

stekernI'm able to load a binary into the FPGA DDR3 from ARM u-boot now, and then toggle the wb/or1k reset line so it start executing from that now10:10
stekernI can toggle the reset line with "normal" linux tools too, so I've loaded the ram in u-boot, booted arm linux, run minicom and toggle reset line => "Hello world!"10:11
olofkhaha. That's awesome10:15
stekernhave to make that a bit more userfriendly though ;)10:16
stekernI have to manually fiddle with the arms hps2fpga bridge reset lines in u-boot to enable that first too10:16
stekernI had to add an wishbone interface to clkgen to get this working10:18
stekernwhich is nice, then I can make some clock programmable from wishbone too ;)10:19
stekernpixel clock comes to mind...10:19
olofkThat's a good idea10:29
olofkwb_intercon_gen is becoming a bit messy now with the wb_data_resize support12:15
stekernolofk: you are adding that?12:17
olofkYep. You sound surprised?12:24
stekernheh, no, not all13:23
stekern+at13:23
stekernI was just curious13:27
stekerndid you push wb_intercon_gen btw?13:27
stekernI should update my interface to it in sockit13:28
stekernbut I want to have the component and wires autogenerated before I do that, so I could help out doing that if you don't have an urge to do it yourself13:29
stekernit's no big hurry though13:29
stekernI'm thinking we could just `include the autogenerated file in top13:30
olofk`include-ing it is a great idea. Haven't even thought about that13:32
olofkYou're welcome to add the instantiation template. I will have my hands full with the wb_data_resize stuff13:33
olofkI'm contemplating a rewrite of wb_intercon_gen actually, but I'm not sure it's worth it13:33
olofkActually, I think it's worth it. Especially if we want to add CDC fifos13:42
stekernI'll try to make the template code not to tied in then14:23
stekernmight be beneficial elsewhere too14:24
stekernat first sight, I think most will be done in verilogwriter anyway14:25
poke53281olofk: Thanks. Do you have a link? I am complete noob using twitter.16:33
olofkpoke53281: I have twitter searches triggered for tweets that contain openrisc or opencores, so that's how I saw them, but you should probably just be able to got to twitter.com and search for openrisc or jor1k17:06
olofkstekern: Yeah. It's probably a good idea to put it in verilog_writer.17:08
poke53281Hehe, saw your twitter olofk19:37
poke53281You know Adam Dunkels?19:42
poke53281s/twitter/tweet/19:54
olofkpoke53281: I don't know him personally, but I've been following some of his work21:05
olofkd21:22
poke53281I tried his contiki operating system on the C64 emulator with network support.21:35
poke53281Amazing that I could surf my favorite news sites with that system.21:35
