Fri Feb 28 04:50:03 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> incidentally, xilinx might as well be run out of ft. meade
Fri Jan 31 03:06:39 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> the chinese, according to some, do make clones of various Xilinx units
Sun Dec 29 20:13:45 UTC 2013 <benkay> sounds like the xilinx tools are designed to implement a certain set of routines in silicon but the silicon itself can't change the implemented routines until you bake the configuration of the fpga into the fpga itself. am i close?
Sun Dec 29 19:53:13 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> interestingly, xilinx and other vendors used to publish their internals, but that stopped in the mid-90s when they moved to a 'rent our code' business model
Sun Dec 29 19:52:08 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> likewise, and even more elementary: can't make a self-reconfiguring xilinx (or other fpga based) system without x86/unix in the loop unless you can ditch the vendor's toolchain
Sun Dec 29 19:51:24 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> benkay: can't make a self-reconfiguring Xilinx without knowing the exact bitstream format and internal layout.
Sun Dec 29 19:50:14 UTC 2013 <benkay> asciilifeform: why do you need to reverse the xilinx toolchain?
Sun Dec 15 00:27:04 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> wtf is with 'virtex' anyway. every time i think 'xilinx'. what's next? btc product called 'coca cola' ?
Fri Dec 06 03:18:41 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> never buy xilinx and altera boards new, they're pennies to the dollar on ebay and the like.
Fri Dec 06 03:17:52 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> both xilinx ('coke'), altera 'pepsi', and lattice 'inca cola' will happily eat both.
Thu Jul 18 10:41:15 UTC 2013 <mjr_> i have some pretty good xilinx code myself
Thu Jul 18 10:40:38 UTC 2013 <Vbs> Ken just gave them the optimized xilinx RTL code he optimized
Thu May 09 01:28:15 UTC 2013 <asciilifeform> dub: an ordinary Xilinx proto board
