06:56 <GuanYung> Hi all, I bump to this tool when I search for the FPGA bitstream programming. I would like to ask how do I add bitsream programming support to a new FPGA ?

06:57 <GuanYung> to be specific, I want to add a new hardware into this list https://trabucayre.github.io/openFPGALoader/compatibility/fpga.html

06:58 <GuanYung> Do we have documentation for the instructions/procedure?

06:59 <trabucayre> You have to add an entry into https://github.com/trabucayre/openFPGALoader/blob/master/doc/FPGAs.yml

07:01 <GuanYung> Thanks Trabucayre.

07:02 <GuanYung> No worry. You are really doing super awesome work to open source your project

07:05 <GuanYung> Another quick question in my mind..

07:05 <GuanYung> openFPGALoader -b arty arty_bitstream.bit # Loading in SRAM

07:05 <GuanYung> Assuming the hardware are setup correctly, with this command, we will load the bitstream to SRAM

07:05 <GuanYung>  I am curious how the program knows the address of memory?

07:05 <GuanYung> Looking at the code, it seems like I need to write a vendor specific parser to parse the header of the bitstream information? and write them to certain memory address?

07:07 <trabucayre> for SRAM there is no memory address: the bitstream contains configuration for all memory

07:07 <trabucayre> but SRAM isn't BRAM nor external RAM :)

07:08 <GuanYung> Is this the industry standard for bitstream programming? I mean the statement `bitstream contains configuration for all memory`

07:16 <trabucayre> memory is primitive configuration, routing, etc.

07:19 <trabucayre> the bitstream has to configure everything (ie something like https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fnf5RopXEAAuYp8?format=png&name=900x900)
