10:25 <pepijndevos> I'm kinda trying to understand the difference between LiteX and FuseSoC, which on the surface both make it easy to build a SoC. Would it be correct to say that FuseSoC is more of a hardware abstraction and package manager, while LiteX is a more opinionated library for connecting things via a standard bus?

17:39 <daveshah> Huh, Xeon-socket-compatible Xilinx FPGA modules were a thing once

19:36 <hell__> daveshah: I guess this stopped once Intel bought Altera

19:37 <hell__> oh dear, this is so cursed

20:06 <Finde> pepijndevos: fusesoc is more just a package manager

20:07 <Finde> but also the edalize part gives you flows to run your design through a variety of tool flows

20:07 <Finde> flows flows flows

20:07 <Finde> so you don't need to roll your own scripts for vivado or yosys or whatever else

20:09 <Lofty> Finde: yeah, but migen - and hence litex - has a build system too

20:10 <Lofty> Although things are pointing at nMigen at the moment
