Hey, how can i graphically view existing floorplans (.asc) from nextpnr? Nextpnr -gui can only open the .json and then go forward
<tnt>
bluesceada_: you can't.

At least I could never get it to work ...
<tnt>
There is a --read option but that never worked for me.

Seems the overall gui is a very early alpha version... Hm
<tnt>
Well it's only as good as people make it to be :p
<tnt>
Works well enough for me to see how things are wired up.
<bluesceada_>
tnt, yes I know, we just discussed if we could make a student do a bachelor thesis on improving it here
<bluesceada_>
But that only works if you place&route inside the gui each time, right? Fortunately we don't have very large designs to do that for, at the moment.

bluesceada_: The student can start by fixing the --read :p

tnt, yeah but we have certain requirements for a thesis, needs a bigger plan ...
<tnt>
bluesceada_: I said "start" :p
<tnt>
that should be fairly straightforward, a few days at most (and most of it just getting familiar with the codebase which they'd have to do anyway)
<tnt>
gatecat would know better for sure
<bluesceada_>
Yes but we don't just let a student start randomly on something ;-)
<bluesceada_>
We need some rough project description, then that could be the practical start, yes
