<Joerg-Neo900> folks, while waiting for metacollin to show up again, let's do something useful and specify a few details for STEP2. To start with - which SoC to use?
<sn0wmonster> how about lowrisc (RISC-V)?
<sn0wmonster> is that gonna come out anytime soon?
<sn0wmonster> its something the Raspi guys founded (linux embedded chip)
<anon-> are you guys going to wait for him?
<sn0wmonster> their webite says it is expected to finish this year
<sn0wmonster> it would solve the whole TI chip issue at least
<sn0wmonster> (althoguh i have no clue how that would complicate the OS integration or anything else)
<sn0wmonster> the Linux kernel recently added RISC-V support iirc
pkill9 has joined #neo900
<sn0wmonster> buti guess its a matter of the individual distros incorporating it?
<sn0wmonster> anon-, i don't think there's any point in waiting any longer
<Joerg-Neo900> that chip is planned to have a GPU? which one?
<sn0wmonster> but as there's no one else available, its kind of the default position :)
<sn0wmonster> Joerg-Neo900, let me dig it up
<sn0wmonster> i dont know if it has a GPU, where would i find that?
<sn0wmonster> How is this different to Raspberry Pi?
<sn0wmonster> not include a GPU.
<sn0wmonster> Our goals and focus are quite different. The Raspberry Pi exists to improve computer science education worldwide. A fully open-source SoC is not necessary to reach this goal, or even a pragmatic way of achieving it given the timescales involved. While it is an ultimate goal to support all the features of a modern commercial SoC, it will require a number of iterations of the design to achieve this. For example, early versions of our SoC will
<Joerg-Neo900> I'm very wary about using vaporware chips that have not even proven to work at all. Odds are the chip has SiErr bugs you can't work around, in first few releases
<sn0wmonster> so it doesn't have it early
<sn0wmonster> undoubtedly, yea
<Joerg-Neo900> anon-: we got no other choice than waiting for him right now
<sn0wmonster> vaporware or not, it does seem to line up with our ethos
<sn0wmonster> perhaps worth investigating
<sn0wmonster> anyone here know anything about it?
<sn0wmonster> i emailed lowrisc with some questions, let me see what they say about the GPU and timelines
<Joerg-Neo900> RISC-V?
<sn0wmonster> yea
<Joerg-Neo900> timeline will be in the years, if they come up with something useful at all
<sn0wmonster> still want to look into it for future use
<sn0wmonster> better to keep track of these things than wait until everyone else is already using them :D
<Joerg-Neo900> of course :-) but consider how long it will take them to just _write_ something similar to full documentation of the chip. like https://community.nxp.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/101840-102-5-17945/IMX6DQRMr2_part1.pdf https://community.nxp.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/101783-102-6-17831/IMX6DQRMr2_part2.pdf, and writing that is a promille of the job, they also need to *design* and *implement* all that, and then debug it, and
<Joerg-Neo900> only THEN the chip could get benchmarked if it *really* performs in all relevant aspects
<Joerg-Neo900> then it might turn out the instruction set of the CPU or the system design (It's SYSTEM on a Chip, remember?) has a flaw in the concept that - while irrelevant for e.g. rPi - makes it not suited for battery powered embedded
<sn0wmonster> nice
<sn0wmonster> long haul then rey
<sn0wmonster> ey*
<sn0wmonster> Dec 2015: We have untethered the Rocket SoC, which now runs standalone on the KC705 and Nexys4DDR FPGAs. This release also includes support for simulation using Verilator and is accompanied by extensive documentation.
<sn0wmonster> seems like they are basing this new one off of something that was already around
