dannas: in fact it's probably for https://github.com/enjoy-digital/xtrx_julia, we are re-creating a gateware/firmware for the XTRX SDR board with Julia developers
<_florent_>
I've been playing a bit with GlScopeClient to bringup the RF:
<GyrosGeier>
I just wonder when I can replace gtkwave :P
<_florent_>
and they just probably commited the code in the fork
<_florent_>
azonenberg: sorry, maybe the wrong channel but I just saw your new SATA sniffer board: If you could be interested to test an open source DDR3 controller (LiteDRAM) and SATA Host core (LiteSATA) on it or if this could help validate the hardware, I would be happy to generate test designs for you (cores can be generated/integrated as standalone verilog cores).
<azonenberg>
_florent_: i'm using the MIG for initial bringup and have no sata controller. but am open to exploring alternatives
<azonenberg>
as far as replacing gtkwave, we have VCD import already
<azonenberg>
but the GUI does not yet scale well to huge numbers of channels
<azonenberg>
improving that is on the wishlist
<_florent_>
azonenberg: ok, then maybe I'll wait that you validate things with MIG first, this way you could just reuse the IO constraints validated with MIG.
massi has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<azonenberg>
lol, so while trying to bring up the logic analyzer pods on the board
<azonenberg>
i had some active high/low enables flipped and wasn't turning on the 12V
<azonenberg>
but the MCU got powered through the protection diodes anyway :p
<azonenberg>
Lesson learned, i need to tristate the uart lines when i'm not powering the pod
<azonenberg>
it even turned on the LCD
<azonenberg>
i was wondering why the backlight wasn't lit up lol
<azonenberg>
then i look at the status LEDs and see i'm not even trying to power up the pod
<azonenberg>
and was in full WTF mode for a few seconds
<electronic_eel>
azonenberg: did the stm32 survive being back-powered through the uart pins?
<electronic_eel>
i had a few die this way. i switched to putting 74lvc2g17 in between the stm32 and outside-reachable uart pins that could be powered when the stm32 isn't
<azonenberg>
I noticed quickly enough it didn't seem to suffer any damage
<azonenberg>
would it have been healthy to do for an extended time period, probably not
<electronic_eel>
could also depend on the pin type, 5v capable vs. non 5v capable. don't remember which ones were the ones that died for me
