Re: Im currently rushing a grant application
<pie_>
good open source fpga (beginner) dev board?
<somlo>
pie_: lambdaconcept ecpix5 (the 85k version) ?
<somlo>
you can build bitstream for it with 100% free tools (yosys/trellis/nextpnr)
<somlo>
and it's large enough to fit a litex+rocketchip 64bit fedora capable computer :)
<somlo>
in the EUR 200-300 range, IIRC (it's been a while, so not 100% sure I remember that part correctly)

pie_: ULX3S is also an option
<pie_>
Ah well thanks, ran out of time lol. Probably wont go anywhere but I didnt get the fpga into the list anyway.
<Flea86>
pie_: Best of luck :)
<pie_>
Flea86: turns out it might have been futile anyway, im not sure what the idea is but the pdf writing all the stuff about the grant didnt have a requiremet in it that the grant application form did
<pie_>
i dont know what the idea is with that but i might have spent a lot of time on this for a requirement i wouldnt have been able to fulfill anyway
<pie_>
but like...youre supposed to make requirement like that _visible_...
<Flea86>
pie_: I see. Just get the bare minimum that you need. For many years, I peddled about in my ee hobby using a 10MHz Analog scope, Meterman DMM and Hakko-clone hot air station. Should have bought a 100MHz scope when I needed it, though..
<pie_>
hehe
<Flea86>
I think I paid maybe $150 for that scope in 1992. Repairing it without a scope to help diagnose the problem was fun.
<Flea86>
when it's HT supply apparently crapped the bed
<somlo>
having written a very small number of grant applications, I can confidently say I thoroughly dislike *everything* about the whole thing :D
<somlo>
gave up on the idea of an academic career as soon as I realized that's the one and only evaluation criterion for success :D
