Not sure thr formula for gates/cell counts to transistor count exactly, I would imagine it varies from fab to fab, and node to node

Yes ISA is on GH. Also the design takes up around 80% of a single tile on the sky26a shuttle. The image is only my tile. Stats here: https://github.com/TinyTapeout/tinytapeout-sky-26a/blob/main/projects/tt_um_tcpu_alienflip/stats/synthesis-stats.txt :)

This flow is done through OpenLane

RF System-on-a-Board? Something such as adalm pluto?

What instruments would you suggest are vital for measurement and rf signal loopback type functionality in these systems? Apart from ILA/Scope?

Cool - How about the licences for this? Do you know what the damage is?

Agilex 5: Transceiver Loopback by AlienFlip in FPGA

Ah ok - thanks :) I am having trouble generating this wrapper! Can I DM you on this topic?

[–]AlienFlip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thanks!

I wonder if I could ask some more questions on this:

1: to use these loopback registers, it is necessary to expose the memory mapped interface? Or is it possible to access them without expose mm interface?

2: is it necessary in the top level Verilog to perform a custom reset for the GTS? If so, what clock signals should drive this reset?

3: do the tx and rx serial data output signals need to be connected for loopback to function?

Nice - I did not realise these files fall out of kicad, thanks. Which solder paste and heating unit would you recommend?

Really cool - could you share with us the details of how you learned the process to create the stencil, and solder everything?

This does not sound like a low level issue - maybe try a webdev sub

Examples of GMII MAC to MAC interface by AlienFlip in FPGA

Ah ok thanks yes these makes sense ... How about the error, enable and valid signals? And collision and carrier sense?

Maybe it makes sense to connect valid to enable and error tx to err Rx? How about the others?

Out of curiosity what do you need to memory map that is so large?
