10:38 <karlp1> man, _no project_ has handled the v1 / v2 change gracefully :|

10:53 <Haohmaru> hm?

10:54 <Haohmaru> que pasa mr karlp1

10:55 <Haohmaru> is a new version of openocd coming out?

11:00 <karlp1> linux gpio chardev versions, if you havent' had to deal with it, just be grateful and move on :)

11:15 <Haohmaru> is this used by openocd like.. for fiddling with pins on SBCs like the crapberry pie?

11:17 <Haohmaru> that is, so that openocd running on an SBC can use a bunch of pins to do SWD or so

11:30 <karlp1> correct.

20:53 <Rexxey> Evening, I am getting a bit of a headache with a cheap chinese FPGA board.  Its got a XC7A75T but I cannot flash the FPGA via OpenOCD or the CH347FPGATool which appears to just be a wrapper for the OpenOCD program.  I keep getting "Unknown Flash Device".  If I change the bitstream to XC7A50T it appears to write to the chip but despite succeeding

20:53 <Rexxey> the firmware doesn't work.  If the chip is a real XC7A75T and the constraints are wrong is there anyway to diagnose this?  Short of tracing the JTAG connections on the board and hooking my own JTAG USB I have ran out of ideas!

21:16 <marex> Rexxey: are you programming the flash (NOR) which contains the bitstream or the FPGA (SRAM) itself ?

21:17 <marex> Rexxey: do you use vivado or xray ?

21:25 <Rexxey> marex I built the firmware with Vivado but I apparently need to flash it with OpenOCD or the CH347 Tool, it appears the JTAG is via this USB-JTAG chip

21:27 <Rexxey> Only flashing the FPGA, OpenOCD just gives me "Unknown Flash Device" unless I select XC7A50T then it appears to flash.  So I am thinking that either the board/FPGA is wrong or they have painted an XC7A75T and it's actually a XC7A50T but apparently that would be more hard work and more expensive than just using a normal XC7A75T

21:37 <PaulFertser> Rexxey: usually when asking about OpenOCD you should pastebin whole output along with the invocation command line

21:40 <PaulFertser> Rexxey: also check the /WP pin of the flash, how it is supposed to be controlled.

21:59 <Rexxey> Ok, i'll grab some logs tomorrow <3
