| Las[m] | Is https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/products/detail/lattice-semiconductor-corporation/LFE5UM-45F-VERSA-EVNG/5222128 fine for Libre-SoC? It seems to be an ECP5, and seems to have 45k LUTs. | 16:26 |
|---|---|---|
| Las[m] | I looked into https://radiona.org/ulx3s/ but it doesn't seem to be buyable | 16:30 |
| lkcl | Las[m], yes. it's not ideal, being only 45K LUT4s, but it will work up to a point | 16:52 |
| lkcl | there's a new ECP5 FPGA board being designed, if you contact tpearson on #talos-workstation he should be able to tell you about it | 16:52 |
| lkcl | if you aim to help out long-term we should be able to justify donating one to you | 16:53 |
| lkcl | we have a BTC budget of (currently, estimated) USD 5,000 which was donated to us and plan to use pretty much all of it to buy Raptor ECP5 FPGA Boards. | 16:53 |
| Las[m] | The NLnet foundation would buy the FPGA for me, so it's not necessary! | 16:54 |
| lkcl | i've also got a Digilent Arty A7-100t, Veera[m] is working on building symbiflow, but even when that's done it still needs a bit of work integrating into nmigen, litex, etc. etc. | 16:55 |
| lkcl | Las[m]: cool! | 16:55 |
| lkcl | ah then definitely contact tpearson and let him know that. | 16:55 |
| lkcl | in fact, get a Base Board with *two* ECP5 ModBMC modules | 16:56 |
| lkcl | because we plan to do SMP inter-communication between two of them | 16:56 |
| lkcl | Las[m], what's your email address again? can you send me a message about the FPGAs, i'll cc you to tpearson. | 17:20 |
| Las[m] | lkcl: me@las.rs | 17:22 |
| Chips4Makers[m] | Las: ULX3S can be bought from the [crowdsupply site](https://www.crowdsupply.com/radiona/ulx3s); there should be 85K version available. | 17:54 |
| Las[m] | Thanks, I'll take a look at that | 20:21 |
