01:28 <sb0> tried synthesizing that risc-v thing on spartan6. 15731 LUTs. stekern how do you say? ;-)

01:28 <sb0> still waiting for P&R to complete but according to the synthesis estimate timing is not bright either

01:31 <sb0> 58MHz lol

02:02 <rjo> sb0: those are git hooks for my little autobuilder here. ~/py/bin/activate is a python virtualenv so that i don't collide with system python.

02:03 <rjo> sb0: they are called "frames". calling them "branches" is confusing. selected by frame and synchronized by trigger.

02:05 <sb0> rjo, ok.

02:06 <sb0> rjo, I'd split host/pdq2.py into an installable Python library + a command line tool using that library

02:06 <sb0> this way, the artiq driver can simply import the lib

02:07 <sb0> risc-v is 110MHz on kintex-7 and still 15K LUTs...

02:08 <rjo> sb0: in this case i would suggest just copying pdq2.py and importing it. trim it if you like but it should work just fine as is.

02:10 <sb0> I think it may be better to keep all the pdq2 communication details in one place

02:15 <sb0> the only problem I see is it adds one dependency to artiq

02:17 <rjo> sb0: the "one place" could well be artiq ;)

02:17 <rjo> sb0: in the end there will be dependencies on the comms layers for various devices.

02:22 <rjo> sb0: also pdq2 already needs libftdi/ftd2xx...

12:45 <stekern> sb0: heh, that gives the word "bloated" a whole new dimension

12:46 <stekern> even with 64-bit and fpu, how can it be that large?
