iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I installed Vivado and can get it to recognize the board! Now I need to work out how to get started and learn some Verilog or VHDL....

100

It already has Linux installed so I’ll give this a try as well!

100

That might’ve been it. I did install Vivado but couldn’t get it to recognise the board. Granted I was genuinely staring at it in pure confusion, but I’ll try again.

I did try what I believe to be the official Xilinx software but had no success. That was a while ago though.

I’ve had this #FPGA dev board I got from aliexpress for over a year now and can’t find the right software to program it. Anyone know what I’m missing? #electronics #FPGAdev

Yeah HMV is great, love going there every so often to pick up a new CD or two.

👀SWEET can't wait to be able to replace python with C# for quick scripts!

Is it bad that I quite like the #NintendoSwitch2? I can understand the console the prices, do not agree with the game prices though... Oh well. I have barely used my switch in 5 years but I have no ability to control how I spend money so I want one

Today I discovered that Tim Follin has uploaded their collective works to archive dot org. It's like a discography of chiptune music. Take a break, and enjoy some hot jams from games you've never played or heard of. There are bangers to be found everywhere! archive.org/search?query...

Heh awesome. Nice to see this stuff on the archive. Tim & Geoff Follin are some of the best composers of their time imo, extremely underrated. RIP Geoff Follin.

any users? don't recall ever seeing anyone use it. shame really, but i kinda get it. call me biased but ever since .net got nativeaot i've literally never seen a reason to use D, even though I've looked at it before.

Using bottles worked a treat! Thanks a ton!

110

Didn't know there was a free version of ableton! Will check it out.

100

Haven't tried bottles yet, I'll give it a shot I can't get WineASIO to work properly under Fedora, I managed to get it to work once a while ago but I can't remember what I did at all... probably some JACK thing I'm missing. Been tempted to try ableton too though, how do you find it?

Anyone know how to get FL Studio running properly on Linux? It's annoying needing to dual boot just so I can use FL studio. Doesn't seem to play nicely with WINE though.

Where to start… there’s quite a few. But yeah FPS for sure too. I’m convinced I don’t know what the word “aim” actually means

Aqua @aquagoose.com · 16/02/2025

Ooh cool that’s a good feature!

Aqua @aquagoose.com · 16/02/2025

Been wondering the same!

Our SDL3 bindings are on our experimental feed, and @aquagoose.com is already making good use of them! Here's a sneak peak of what SDL3's GPU APU looks like in 3.0.

using Silk.NET.Core;
using Silk.NET.SDL;

if (!Sdl.Init(Sdl.InitVideo | Sdl.InitEvents))
throw new Exception($"Failed to initialize SDL: {Sdl.GetError()}");

WindowHandle window = Sdl.CreateWindow("Test SDL", 1280, 720, 0);

if (window == nullptr)
throw new Exception($"Failed to create window: {Sdl.GetError()}");

GPUDeviceHandle device = Sdl.CreateGPUDevice(Sdl.GpuShaderformatSpirv, true, nullptr);
Sdl.ClaimWindowForGPUDevice(device, window);

bool alive = true;
while (alive)
{
Event winEvent = default;

while (Sdl.PollEvent(winEvent.AsRef()))
{
switch ((EventType) winEvent.Type)
{
case EventType.WindowCloseRequested:
alive = false;
break;
}
}

GPUCommandBufferHandle cb = Sdl.AcquireGPUCommandBuffer(device);
GPUTextureHandle texture = default;
Sdl.WaitAndAcquireGPUSwapchainTexture(cb, window, texture.AsRef(), nullptr, nullptr);

GPUColorTargetInfo targetInfo = new()
{
Texture = texture,
ClearColor = new FColor() { R = 1.0f, G = 0.5f, B = 0.25f, A = 1.0f },
LoadOp = GPULoadOp.Clear,
StoreOp = GPUStoreOp.Store
};

GPURenderPassHandle pass = Sdl.BeginGPURenderPass(cb, targetInfo.AsRef(), 1, nullptr);

Sdl.EndGPURenderPass(pass);
Sdl.SubmitGPUCommandBuffer(cb);
}

Sdl.DestroyGPUDevice(device);

Sdl.DestroyWindow(window);
Sdl.Quit();

Doesn’t surprise me, depending on the project the successor would need to be willing to make a pretty big investment, in their time and effort. It’s generally not easy to come by those people

It actually looks okay. The problem is that it appears to be floating above the UI even though it actually isn't despite the UI "continuing" below it. Oh and it's not aligned to the right side.

Aqua @aquagoose.com · 05/02/2025

Okay... what the heck is this? Please tell me this is an accident... please

Thoughts on the new Discord redesign: Looks okay. Title bar doesn't integrate into KDE yet so there's just a giant useless bar at the top. Server icons are a bit small. They're also rounded rectangles instead of circles now for some reason. Oh and the new message box. Yeah n o

Now that is one cute cat.

Bit late, but can recommend Fedora with KDE It's what I use and it's a perfect balance between being able to tinker and customize it to perfection and "it just works"

Aqua @aquagoose.com · 20/01/2025

Yea, looking forward to seeing where this goes. YT Shorts are good but the more the better.
