Working on making PLLs easier to use in #Silice, here testing with a #ulx3s / ECP5 board. Four clocks of same frequency, phased out 90 degrees each. If you are wondering why the clock signals are not perfect ... check the wiring 😅 .

This is the basic #Silice VGA test, somewhat of a tradition, I always start there when adding a new #FPGA board. Who's new in this list ? Yes! Working on integrating the GateMate A1 evaluation board! Stay tuned for more info soon. #CologneChips #GateMate

1/5 My two demos won 1st place in Graphics (Warp) and 1st place in Best for size and Single tile (WhyNot?) at the @tinytapeout.com demo competition. Huge thanks to the jury for the recognition. Means a lot to me: started hardware in 2018, and it became a big adventure. m.youtube.com/watch?v=il_q...

I finally got around to doing another Surfer release, so now we're on v0.4.0 🎉 My personal highlights are the new web assembly based translator system, and the improvements to our waveform control protocol, and you can read the full change log at gitlab.com/surfer-proje...

I'm learning the hard way about termination series resistors. There's a lot more to this story, but this little 0603 51ohm resistor resolved a nightmare that's been haunting me for like ... 2 years!!! (trace is a SPI clock at 50MHz) #pcb #fpga

A termination series resistors patches onto a trace on an otherwise fine PCB.

WolFPGA on the icepi-zero! Works great!! ( #Wolfenstein raycaster on #FPGA, no CPU, pure graphics, in #Silice) It is a very neat board, packed with features. (Silice already has support, check it out!). Crowd funding still open for a few hours, check it out : www.crowdsupply.com/icy-electron...

A fantastic result, finally getting rid of layers, filling the part with optimized free-form (well spaced, near constant flow) paths! "Spaghetti"? Yes, but these are ordered in a sequence and can print without collisions. Amazing work by the team! #3dprinting www.linkedin.com/posts/xavier...

1/3 Pro-tip: (WebGPU + Emscripten) if you are wondering why your mapped buffer contains only zeros, make sure to use wgpuBufferGetConstMappedRange on your WGPUBufferUsage_MapRead buffer.

I finally got around to testing the second project I had on #TinyTapeout 06. This squeezed 64 bytes of RAM into a single Tiny Tapeout tile (roughly 160x100 um). It works!

Screenshot of part of a console window, saying all 3 tests (basic, all and random) passed in 116 seconds.

I love the RP2040 and RP2350: amazing, useful tiny chips. Thus I enjoyed watching this talk on how to hack the RP2350. Goes into lots of hardware details. Sure, it means the RP2350 is less secure than we hoped, but I trust a new revision will soon correct this! media.ccc.de/v/38c3-hacki...
