[scopehal] azonenberg 91226d6 - Initial implementation of DigilentOscilloscope driver. Can display a waveform but no support for triggers, gain/offset control, starting/stopping, or almost anything else yet. See #410.
<azonenberg>
This has been on my to-do list for something over a year
<azonenberg>
digilent reached out to me and sent me a bunch of dev hardware
<azonenberg>
and i've only lately had a few minutes to actually spend on it

actually yay looks like the PT5s are coming today not tomorrow
<azonenberg>
apparently i live close enough to oshpark that if i pay for fedex 2-day sometimes it's actually overnight

<MP> Yay !
massi has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<azonenberg>
I'll be hand assembling one of them with a tip resistor i desoldered from my last prototype
<azonenberg>
there will be two more units i could populate but i want to wait until my jig comes in to trim any more resistors
<azonenberg>
so i can practice / test the jig
<azonenberg>
Was reminded of this by a tweet... Anybody seen a "SD Express" card in the wild yet? Or hardware that interfaces with them?
<azonenberg>
As in a NVMe SSD with PCIe x1 or x2, in SD card form factor
<azonenberg>
i've seen lots of marketing fluff and renders but no real hardware
mandl has quit [Quit: Leaving]

Nope. Never saw one hit the market. I was kinda hoping they would arrive
<d1b2>
<Herr Brain> If the Steam Deck (and competition/clones) really catch on I could see there being a major demand. I doubt the current hardware would support it, but next-gen may.
<azonenberg>
yeah i was thinking they might be interesting for FPGA applications that need bulk storage, as an alternative to eMMC or whatever
<azonenberg>
on that note, is there a solder down version? "eMMC express" or similar?
<d1b2>
<Herr Brain> UFS is a thing.
<d1b2>
<Herr Brain> The trouble is that the interfaces themselves tend to be proprietary, and the specs might be under NDA.
<Degi>
The heat production sounds a bit troublesome, especially if its a plastic SD card
<azonenberg>
UFS is IIRC MIPI M-PHY and a custom upper layer protocol. I'm talking about actual NVMe over PCIe, as in SD Express
<azonenberg>
such that you can literally solder one of these things onto a pcie card with no components other than power regulation and it will work
<azonenberg>
or put it on a m.2 etc
<mxshift>
M.2 spec has BGA footprints for this case. There are some industrial NVMe devices that come in that form factor.
