01:18 AM rue_shop3: wow
01:23 AM rue_shop3: crazy
01:23 AM rue_shop3: drives an insane distance to get here, stays like 20 minutes, goes back
05:33 AM X704 is now known as tiwake
06:43 AM Tom_L: mustuv been an important visit
06:42 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
07:50 PM rue_shop3: Tom_L, is .v the same as .vhd
07:56 PM rue_shop3: Tom_L, you switched from verilog on me
08:08 PM Tom_L: .v is not the same as .vhd
08:08 PM rue_shop3: no blinky
08:08 PM Tom_L: .v is verilog. .vhd is vhdl
08:08 PM rue_shop3: playing with values
08:08 PM Tom_L: blinky is hiding on the server
08:09 PM rue_shop3: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/temp/xilinx/rue/blinky/
08:09 PM Tom_L: yeah
08:09 PM Tom_L: make a project
08:09 PM Tom_L: see if you can comiile it
08:10 PM rue_shop3: I am compiling it, no blinky
08:11 PM Tom_L: mmm
08:11 PM Tom_L: it worked on mine
08:11 PM Tom_L: check the led pins
08:11 PM Tom_L: i may have guessed wrong
08:12 PM Tom_L: T9 & R9 is what i guessed
08:14 PM rue_shop3: no go, hmm
08:15 PM Tom_L: leds should be right
08:15 PM Tom_L: i checked the 'first' project and that's where they are
08:15 PM rue_shop3: oh
08:16 PM Tom_L: play with the integer range. maybe the clock is way different
08:16 PM rue_shop3: no, leds are right
08:16 PM rue_shop3: is clk universal?
08:16 PM Tom_L: and it's blinking way too slow
08:16 PM Tom_L: mmm
08:17 PM Tom_L: it must be, i'm just using the 2 led definition pins
08:18 PM Tom_L: part of the IEEE1164 lib probably
08:20 PM Tom_L: lemme try mine again
08:23 PM rue_shop3: hmm
08:23 PM rue_shop3: gonna try the QM example
08:23 PM Tom_L: the pin file is right
08:23 PM Tom_L: i'll see if the .vhd is ok then upload it again
08:23 PM rue_shop3: we tried sys_clk instead of clk and that didn't change it
08:25 PM Tom_L: grab the blinky.vhd again
08:25 PM Tom_L: it works here
08:25 PM Tom_L: the only difference is the pin file
08:25 PM Tom_L: which you already have
08:28 PM Tom_L: drop a digit off the end of the integer range and it will blink much faster
08:28 PM Tom_L: and the cnt= line
08:28 PM Tom_L: drop a zero and a 9
08:35 PM rue_shop3: I been writing the wonng .bit file
08:36 PM Tom_L: woops
08:36 PM rue_shop3: :)
08:36 PM Tom_L: unmodified should blink ~1sec interval
09:02 PM rue_shop3: NET "clk" LOC = A10 | IOSTANDARD = LVTTL;
09:08 PM Tom_L: might help
09:08 PM Tom_L: mine didn't require it for some reason
09:10 PM Tom_L: but it's good to know where that pin is
09:29 PM rue_shop3: this needed it
09:29 PM rue_shop3: but why not verilog then?
09:30 PM Tom_L: you didn't use the clock on the other examples
09:30 PM Tom_L: so far
09:30 PM Tom_L: just button -> led connections
10:16 PM zhanx: 5 pounds of bacon https://imgur.com/a/DYrIqzP
10:16 PM zhanx: cured, smoked, cut.
10:17 PM Tom_L: yum
10:34 PM rue_mohr: hi
10:35 PM rue_mohr: me and one of hte guys were trying to work out why it didn't work, comparing it against the QMtech example
10:35 PM rue_mohr: kinda came dow n to that clock def line being the only thing
10:36 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, what was it before cats?
10:37 PM zhanx: pork
10:37 PM rue_mohr: lbs
10:37 PM zhanx: 5
10:38 PM rue_mohr: :) good show
10:38 PM zhanx: its in the fridge resting now
10:38 PM zhanx: i did taste test one piece, its good like normal
10:38 PM rue_mohr: so, fpga!
11:02 PM Tom_L: so it's blinking now?
11:03 PM Tom_L: odd the cpld didn't require it but technically it should
11:13 PM rue_mohr: yup
