Hello, I am Adithya Sunil and I am a 2nd-year Electronics and Communication Engineering student at IIIT Hyderabad. I have previously worked with verilog for various projects and assignments and I have some experience working with ISAs. I found the project idea for porting the BaseJump STL to FuseSoC quite interesting and I have submitted a draft proposal for the project. It would be very helpful to me if my proposal can be reviewed by a mentor so I can use the feedback to fix the shortcomings.
Thank you!

Hello everyone!

I'm brazilian C.S. student looking for a final project that involving Verilog and RISC-V. I'm got very interested in the project proposed by @olofk but looks like other people that have more experience in the topic are applying. I'm very new in the area and GSoC isn't a requirement. As I'm going to dedicate +500 hours into it, I may be able to help with other projects or tasks. Do you guys recommend any specific way to learn more about FOSSI and the projects under it?

@Nitish-byte

Hello @stevehoover , I have made the changes suggested by you in the proposal. Could you please review it again and give the feedback.

I think there could be many proposals for a project and mentors may have mentoring two or more projects. So I request students to have little patience. It may not possible to have multiple round of feedback for each proposal when mentors also have an regular job. Don't feel nervous, GSoC intention is to just involve students to get them experience of real world projects. Relax and focus on learning from their respective open source community. Best of luck to all!

It's great to see so many people interested in GSoC this year. I just wanted to mention again that SymbiFlow are also in GSoC this year and have projects around open source silicon and EDA. Make sure to check out what they have too https://symbiflow.github.io/

MOHIT GUPTA

@192215

Hello @stevehoover @Jbalkind @olofk @jeremybennett, I want to work on BeagleConnect - Low-Power Wide Area Networking Project because I am familiar with GPIO, ADC Drivers, and C language.

So, can you please suggest to me how do I contribute to this repository.

Hey Mohit. Looks like there's some confusion here. This room is meant for Free and Open Source Silicon Foundation (FOSSi) and not Beagleboard.org

MOHIT GUPTA

@192215

Okay, it was sent there by mistake
Thanks @shivampotdar:matrix.org

@Nitish-byte

Hey @ninja3011 you're from VJTI college right.... I'm from SPIT. You're studying in which year? About the project I have started working on developing some basic custom blocks like adders, multipliers, etc. which can be useful for integrating it in circuit flows. I would like to know your approach and ideas on this project too !!!

That's great, thanks for letting us know.

Ninad Jangle

@ninja3011

@Nitish-byte Yeah! I am in Second Year. Right now, my finals are on. Can I contact you post 3rd march? I would love to compare and share approaches. Just before the finals, I was reading up on the specs of TL Verilog on tlx trying to brainstorm ways of implementations in JS.

Nitish-byte

@Nitish-byte

@ninja3011 Yeah sure!!! You mean post 3rd May right...

Ninad Jangle

@ninja3011

Yeah May*

Today I got a bit of time to work on blocky again, I was looking at the generators that come fully built into blocky, mainly javascript.js. It seems the closest to ours compared to lua or python.

Most of our logical ops will use similar code. I think we can need to have a complete list of keywords in TL-Verilog, I have not been able to find one till now. It can be compiled if not there.

https://github.com/google/blockly/blob/master/generators/javascript.js

There are a lot more things that get added with further documentation but I feel 1a itself provides a solid foundation to build a base generator.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19wJ1jzm5gvQE_tP-rFZLs8Sj-TNZRaeC-mDVyqGp3-g/pub

@Nitish-byte check out the generator and specs sheet and let me know if you feel similarly.

@ninja3011

@stevehoover, thank you! , the specs seem like the docs I have been reading. I'll keep the reference card at hand while coding, it will be helpful.
I have gone through the tutorials, but ill do a quick revision again.

Ninad Jangle

@ninja3011

I had my assignment week and finals in the last 2 weeks, so I was not able to do major work till now. I will be able to dive into the heavy work from tomorrow ( finals ending )

Nitish-byte

@Nitish-byte

Hey @ninja3011 thanks for the update I read the documents sent by you, how was your exam? Actually currently I'm busy with my final year evaluations which will end on 12th May. Hopefully I could dedicate much of my time on this after that. About these documents, I didn't exactly understand the correlation with the generator code for javascript, could you elaborate on that? @stevehoover thanks for the reference. @ninja3011 I'll till then try to implement some flows using the algorithms in makerchip tutorials and your HDL doc too was helpful and gave me some idea.

Ninad Jangle

@ninja3011

@Nitish-byte Best of luck with your evaluations! The exams went well, our practical exams are this week so I am working on blocky part-time now till 14th as well. About the docs, the idea was to know concisely what elements are needed to be a part of the generator. By learning TL Verilog we start with the stuff we are familiar with, but having a compiled list acts as a double-check for all elements. But yes, as our main aim is to convert to TLV, how the instructions work from there isn't crucial to our proj, but still good to know.

Hi all,
I'd like to announce recently update of my project "RgGen".
https://github.com/rggen/rggen

I've published the first release of VHDL plugin for RgGen.
https://github.com/rggen/rggen-vhdl
By using RgGen and this plugin, you can generate CSR modules written in VHDL from human readable register map specifications.

Sample register map:
https://github.com/rggen/rggen-sample/blob/master/block_0.yml
https://github.com/rggen/rggen-sample/blob/master/block_0.rb
https://github.com/rggen/rggen-sample/blob/master/block_0.xlsx
Generated VHDL module
https://github.com/rggen/rggen-sample/blob/master/block_0.vhd

RgGen now supports all major HDL (SV/Verilog/VHDL) !

Olof Kindgren

@olofk

Thanks @taichi-ishitani . Does it support SystemRDL as the input format?

Taichi Ishitani

@taichi-ishitani

currently no.

I'm implementing SystemRDL parser now

Taichi Ishitani

@taichi-ishitani

Is SystemRDL support an important feature?
In Japan, SystemRDL is not popular format so I'm not sure its importance.

Jonathan Balkind

@Jbalkind

I'm glad to see more releases @taichi-ishitani ! Excellent work :D

GlenNicholls

@GlenNicholls

@taichi-ishitani Have you seen AirHDL, tsfpga, and cheby? Just curious becaues I've been seeing a lot of duplication of effort with similar OS tools. AirHDL isn't open source and only certain features are free, but I am curious why you decided to start a new tool. Is there something that yours solves that others don't?

Olof Kindgren

@olofk

@taichi-ishitani Sou desu ka. I'm not sure how SystemRDL is in other parts of the world but since there is already some good open source tooling for working with SystemRDL I think it is currently in the best position to become the standard format for describing registers. I have moved to SystemRDL now for my latest designs

Jonathan Balkind

@Jbalkind

@GlenNicholls looks like those others started around the same time as rggen? It's at least two years old iirc

Olof Kindgren

@olofk

It's a problem that many people try to solve and I think it's great that we have several approaches and tools that suit different use cases. At the same time it would be fantastic to have interoperability between them somehow and I'm betting on SystemRDL as the Lingua Franca of registers

Taichi Ishitani

@taichi-ishitani

@GlenNicholls
I've seen airhdl but not seen tsfpga and cheby.
RgGen is 4th generation of my CSR automation tool and I started development of 1st generation about 10 years ago
