05:16 <esden[m]> The remainder of the Glasgow Aluminium Cases is going out to Mouser tomorrow. 🙂

07:37 <endrift[m]> Hey, I got my glasgows a few months ago but haven't done anything with them yet--are there any good existing projects I can test it out with? I was hoping to do some logic analyzer stuff

07:39 <endrift[m]> I can break out my Saleae if needed but I figured it'd be a good chance to get acquainted with the Glasgow

07:47 <omnitechnomancer> \o/

07:47 <omnitechnomancer> I have touched a 25 series SPI Flash with mine

08:23 <theorbtwo[m]> Been doing UART stuff, and some jtagging and swd.

08:24 <endrift[m]> I've never written anything for FPGAs but I've been wanting to for years--probably almost a decade at this point

08:25 <benny2366[m]> wanting to toy around FPGA's or ?

08:25 <endrift[m]> ...I have an iCEBreaker and an Olimex lattice devboard here somewhere too...

08:26 <endrift[m]> (I say "somewhere" but I've seen both of them within the past hour while looking for some GBA link port adapters...)

08:26 <benny2366[m]> Aaah i wanted to recomend the icebreaker or the ulx3s if you just wanted to get started

08:26 <endrift[m]> https://www.olimex.com/Products/FPGA/iCE40/iCE40HX8K-EVB/open-source-hardware I think this is the Olimex board I have

08:27 <endrift[m]> honestly not sure what I want to do with them

08:27 <endrift[m]> I wanted to mess around with GBA cartridges to some extent, at least

08:27 <ebb> Have also poked a SPI flash with mine (which saved a trip to the office)

08:27 <endrift[m]> but I have a GBxCart RW for that now

08:28 <endrift[m]> might be more convenient to implement a dumper for some extremely vexing cartridges with custom HDL though

08:28 <endrift[m]> I kinda wanted to do logic analysis using an interposer for GBA cartridges at some point but that might be bit far

08:29 <endrift[m]> * might be a bit far

08:29 <endrift[m]> especially since it would generate a lot of data (32 bits per sample at 16 MiHz)

08:30 <endrift[m]> actually I guess that's only 64 MiB/s if I only take one sample per cycle

08:31 <endrift[m]> I would rather sample 2 or 4 times per cycle though

08:33 <theorbtwo[m]> Seems rather wide for a glasgow?

08:34 <endrift[m]> indeed, that is part of the problem

08:34 <endrift[m]> I'd need to stream the data from two glasgows and then correlate them

08:35 <endrift[m]> that said, I have two

08:36 <endrift[m]> oh wait sorry I don't have an iCEBreaker, I have an iCEstick

08:36 <endrift[m]> one of these weird things

08:46 <endrift[m]> I'm assuming the sync line is mostly used for a shared clock signal?

08:47 <whitequark[cis]> it's not ... really used

08:48 <whitequark[cis]> it was an aspirational feature in revA and i'm not sure if anyone's ever really used it for anything

08:48 <endrift[m]> I see

08:48 <endrift[m]> but it is a thing that could be used for that, right?

08:50 <whitequark[cis]> yes

09:23 <nemanjan00[m]> Hmm, just realized it would be actually supper easy to use Glasgow as a frequency counter... External frequency ref, as time reference and just count how many times input pin changed state between reference state change... 😄

09:24 <nemanjan00[m]> * as a quite good frequency counter...

09:25 <nemanjan00[m]> 100Mhz could be plenty good for HF ham radio use
