I have a useless pcba for test. :) 2012-10-16 03:22 fab sounds reasonable for the pcb. that may allow you to have vias under the fpga. in general, it's almost unavoidable to have vias there (with a bga). and diy can't do that. 2012-10-16 03:23 still, i'd try to find a nice *qfp package if i was you :) 2012-10-16 03:25 (or qfn, but i don't think they use that for fpgas. qfn is harder to solder than tqfp/lqfp but still manageable.) 2012-10-16 03:25 but xilinx.. 2012-10-16 03:25 7 series seems have all from bga 2012-10-16 03:26 emeb has quit [Quit: Leaving.] 2012-10-16 03:27 :-/ 2012-10-16 03:27 wpwrak, my first plan even complicate. with all power ic and caps on pcb. 2012-10-16 03:27 then I found I have problem on routing wires. 2012-10-16 03:27 tought csg is 0.8mm pitch.. 2012-10-16 03:27 so I remove again and again. then it only have the ftg256 chip and osc. :) 2012-10-16 03:28 ah ftg is .2 bigger 2012-10-16 03:28 wpwrak, yes. since I have those qfp pin-out board. I direct jump to bga. for new xilinx chips. 2012-10-16 03:29 kristianpaul, yes. that is 1mm pitch. 2012-10-16 03:29 XC6SLX9-2TQG144C doesn't sound too evil. lqfp. 0.5 mm pitch is a bit tight, though. 2012-10-16 03:29 i like that 2012-10-16 03:30 kristianpaul, most of xilinx chip is 1mm. only CSG and SBG is 0.8mm 2012-10-16 03:30 heberth has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 03:30 yeah, only bga for series 7 2012-10-16 03:31 but ... if experimenting with series 6 now, AND it's your first pcb, there's little point in making your own life miserable 2012-10-16 03:31 tought you can follow azonenberg adventures on bga :) 2012-10-16 03:32 i'm sure the wright brothers dreamed of flying to the moon, but they had the good sense of not trying their first flight with a supersonic rocket engine ;-) 2012-10-16 03:34 were diferent times ;-) 2012-10-16 03:34 wpwrak, about XC6SLX9-2TQG144C, after follow your advices. I made 3 quiet stable board. now it is like: http://www.openmobilefree.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/IMG_1190.jpg and http://www.openmobilefree.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/IMG_1192.jpg 2012-10-16 03:35 wpwrak, the cable that for osc. it have GND wrap the singal around. 2012-10-16 03:35 nice :) it's getting better 2012-10-16 03:35 wpwrak, (not trying their first flight with a supersonic rocket engine ) :-) 2012-10-16 03:36 kristianpaul, yes. I use azonenberg libs. 2012-10-16 03:36 it'll still be a miracle if it works, but you're one step closer to something that might :) 2012-10-16 03:37 wrap? 2012-10-16 03:37 why? 2012-10-16 03:38 wpwrak, I have a jtag-communication, can read the clock counter out. for 1000 time, it give 3 ~4 errors. still not stable enough. 2012-10-16 03:38 why "why" ? 2012-10-16 03:39 why wrap things on a pcb with a fpga :) 2012-10-16 03:39 xiangfu: yeah, that's roughly what i'd expect. circuits rarely fail 100%, but if you abuse them badly enough, they fail noticeably often. 2012-10-16 03:39 kristianpaul: because he hasn't made his own pcb yet :) 2012-10-16 03:40 alas, that adapter board is likely to do more harm than good 2012-10-16 03:40 e.g., i doubt is has correct bypassing 2012-10-16 03:40 wpwrak, I have to jump to BGA now. :) or it will take me too much time . good thing is I don't want all 256 pins out. I only need ~10 of them. so I want keep it 2 layer. 2012-10-16 03:41 and the long cables probably act are excellent antennas. so maybe the board works at daytime, when the neighbour is away, but fails when he's back in the evening, downloading porn over wifi 2012-10-16 03:41 wpwrak, 4 layer will totally not fit for me. I can read the 4 layer pcb. I can not create it now by kicad. :( 2012-10-16 03:42 wpwrak, :-D 2012-10-16 03:42 why do you think bga will help you save time ? 2012-10-16 03:43 wpwrak, (, i doubt is has correct bypassing) what do you mean ? 2012-10-16 03:43 wpwrak, skip qfp-pcb, direct go to bga-pcb. I think it will same me 50% time of qfp-pcb. :) 2012-10-16 03:43 (bypassing) capacitors, placed very near (not more than a few mm) to the fpga's pins 2012-10-16 03:44 wpwrak, oh. yes. 2012-10-16 03:45 well ... in addition to the circuit problems you'll have to fight the soldering problems. and if you discover that you need to access some pin that's unconnected, you have to make another board 2012-10-16 03:45 wpwrak, one of the 3 board have little improvement. the capacitors at the back of qfp144 pin-out board. 2012-10-16 03:45 with *qfp, you just solder a little wire to that "new" pin 2012-10-16 03:45 (caps) ah, that's good. that should help a lot. 2012-10-16 03:47 the oscillator may need a cap, too 2012-10-16 03:47 wpwrak, yes. 2012-10-16 03:48 wpwrak, about this print [http://downloads.openmobilefree.net/tmp/ftg256_ugly_pcb.JPG]. do you think it is my printer problem? 2012-10-16 03:48 wpwrak, I am using Brother HL-2140 laser printer. 2012-10-16 03:49 use foil paper at night :-) 2012-10-16 03:50 that looks rather odd indeed 2012-10-16 03:51 does the postscript look fine ? 2012-10-16 03:52 (with *qfp, you just solder a little wire to that "new" pin) I think I have experience on pin-out board. so I direct jump to pcb. and I this one not working. I have to learn more knowledge on pcb (via etc) 2012-10-16 03:53 wpwrak, too bad. I am still not read the book you advise me. 2012-10-16 03:53 wpwrak, the postscript looks good. 2012-10-16 03:54 looks like a printer driver problem then. maybe google around a bit. cups may also have more than one driver for your printer and selecting a different one may help 2012-10-16 03:55 the pin-out board was a detour. if you make your own board, you can improve a lot of things even if still using *qfp. 2012-10-16 03:55 e.g., you can have a nice big ground plane. and much shorter tracks for everything. 2012-10-16 03:56 wpwrak, wait. I check the postscript agian. 2012-10-16 03:56 wpwrak, it looks same as the result. 2012-10-16 03:56 hah ! :) 2012-10-16 03:56 in pcbnew, did you "plot" or "print" ? 2012-10-16 03:57 "print" 2012-10-16 03:57 i rest my case ;-) 2012-10-16 03:57 "print" is broken. only use "plot" 2012-10-16 03:57 (the pin-out board was a detour.... you can improve a lot...) yes. totally agree. 2012-10-16 03:58 wpwrak, trying plot now.. 2012-10-16 03:58 you should find the "make front" and "make back" targets in my various projects useful. they invoke pcbnew with all the right settings for toner transfer 2012-10-16 03:59 in particular, they select the right mirroring 2012-10-16 04:00 plot looks much much better. 2012-10-16 04:00 kewl :) 2012-10-16 04:02 huge difference :) 2012-10-16 04:05 * kristianpaul take note about plot 2012-10-16 04:21 heberth has quit [Quit: leaving] 2012-10-16 04:30 aisa_ has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds] 2012-10-16 05:30 jekhor has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 05:38 xiangfu: qt4 build is still failing on buildhost? 2012-10-16 05:49 xiangfu: also, why mpg123 gets built?

2012-10-16 21:47 ow. 2012-10-16 21:58 pcercuei: not a very good idea to drop params, since we've found a use to that feature: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/openwrt-packages/source/tree/master/nanonote-files/gmenu2x-icons/gmenu2x/sections/terminals/ash-default 2012-10-16 21:58 yeah, we could just create a shell script wrapper for that :) 2012-10-16 21:59 kyak: all those params could be appended to the exec= line 2012-10-16 22:00 then we would have to re-write the code that check if a link is existing, just as you mentioned 2012-10-16 22:01 that's not really a problem 2012-10-16 22:02 aisa has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 2012-10-16 22:02 we've got 26 links using "params" 2012-10-16 22:03 well, that's fixable.. 2012-10-16 22:03 but maybe better leave it as it is for good 2012-10-16 22:03 heberth_ has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 22:03 mmhhh 2012-10-16 22:04 in that case, can I just remove the option to edit the parameters on the config menu? 2012-10-16 22:05 I assume the user never need to modify the params 2012-10-16 22:05 i don't even remember a shortcut for that option :) 2012-10-16 22:06 on the "edit" menu, you can modify the parameters 2012-10-16 22:06 which shouldn't happen IMHO 2012-10-16 22:06 i think you can remove it, it's easier to edit the link file itself (in my opinion) 2012-10-16 22:07 also, are you aware that the "params" of gmenu2x are heavily parsed for keynames? 2012-10-16 22:07 sorry, gtg.. 2012-10-16 22:07 like "[selFile]" 2012-10-16 22:08 if you use "[selFile]" on the params, it will be replaced by the file selected 2012-10-16 22:15 aisa_ has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 22:24 Jurting has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 22:24 btw, could we add an "editable" option? 2012-10-16 22:24 if editable=false is set on a link, then the "Edit" option on the contextual menu is hidden 2012-10-16 22:25 kristianpaul has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 2012-10-16 22:25 kristianpaul has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 22:25 kristianpaul has quit [Changing host] 2012-10-16 22:25 kristianpaul has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 22:34 urandom__ has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!] 2012-10-16 22:45 aisa_ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 2012-10-16 22:48 aisa_ has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 22:50 heberth_ has quit [Quit: leaving] 2012-10-16 23:13 freakazoid0223 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 2012-10-16 23:13 aisa_ has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 2012-10-16 23:14 aisa_ has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 23:42 scientes has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds] 2012-10-16 23:43 aisa_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 2012-10-16 23:44 aisa_ has joined #qi-hardware 2012-10-16 23:56 aisa_ has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds] 2012-10-16 23:56 woakas has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
