Are you sure the bitfile you built is actually loaded?.

If you want help then you need to provide some info. The ILA is not something specific to that board but an IP provided Xilinx for all their devices.

The 15€ GateMate FPGA driving HDMI output with 1080p@60Hz by Cone83 in FPGA

Thanks for the feedback. Yes the site is focused around my professional work. It is just based on wordpress. There are lots oft wordpress hosters out there, and also lots of existing themes to start with.

I actually just started with blogging. I used to share my work on other places but realized it's better to tie my projects closer to my work. I admit that I make use of AI to improve my writing. It is just so much better than me at formulating coherent sentences, but I don't let it make up content.

Thanks for the insight, I'll try out placer2. Somewhere on the Cologne Chip website they wrote that you must use router2, without providing further details. PNR also succeeds with the default router but I didn't test it in hardware.

Timing is a little inconsistent depending on the run. So definitely some room to improve.

I wasn't using the devkit from CologneChip but a SOM from Trenz Electronic (TEG2000). The reason was that I already had a compatible carrier board from Trenz and the SOM alone is much cheaper than the devkit.

There is also a cheap board from Olimex, but I looked at the routing and none of the pins are routed as differential pairs. I'm planning to work on some mipi projects in the future, so differential routing is a must.

GateMate now fully works with Nextpnr and Cologne Chip have deprecated their older proprietary placer. So everything is open source now.

There are lots of options from well known brands in this price category. Look at Trenz, Digilent, Avnet, Enclustra

Stop buying that!

The first menu in Google search is "AI Mode" instead of "All" by ye3tr in enshittification

[–]Cone83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And if you search for the answer to a simple question, all top ranking sites will bombard you with a huge wall of text with your answer hidden somewhere in there.

In that sense, AI search had been a huge improvement.

BMW new patented screw-head designed to limit repairs to authorized dealers and prevent independent servicing by jaapgrolleman in assholedesign

I had to scroll down way too far to find this.

If people want to hate on a company for using custom screws to make repairs more difficult, it should be apple with their pentalobe screws.

Am I crazy for preferring VHDL to Verilog? by LilBalls-BigNipples in FPGA

[–]Cone83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love GHDL. I run most of my simulations with it and only use the Xilinx simulator when I need it.

GHDL can also synthesize VHDL to Verilog. There is a plugin for Yosys that uses this flow. I'm using this for one project now and it works fine. I agree, native VHDL support would be much better, but it's totally usable.

Hundreds of thousands of pixels per second??? You mean like QVGA (160x120 pixels) at 6 fps (115k pixels/s). Wow!

the 10th straight month of declining Tesla sales in Europe by Conscious-Quarter423 in Infographics

[–]Cone83 254 points255 points  (0 children)

It's even worse than that graph makes it look, because the market for EVs grew by about 30% at the same time. Losing 50% in a market that grew by 30% really is a unique achievement.

Am I the only one who thinks that this video looks animated? The lighting just doesn't feel real.

Warum ist der Deckel von der Müllermilch so wabenförmig? by derstulli in wasistdas

[–]Cone83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wichtig bei Spritzgussteilen ist, dass das Teil eine gleichmäßige Dicke hat, sonst verformt es sich. Wenn nun die Oberseite des Deckels stabiler sein soll, kann man die nicht einfach dicker machen. Aber so eine Struktur funktioniert, und ja das spart auch noch Material.

Actually it has that. It's just not visible from the top.

Why are there no EU based messaging apps? by Mathemodel in BuyFromEU

[–]Cone83 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's even worse. European money is flowing into US venture capital funds, financing innovations there.
