<nalaginrut>sneek: later tell ijp how about your scm2js project? ;-) ***michel_mno_afk is now known as michel_mno
<nalaginrut>I'm glad RMS announced 'free hardware' concept officially, I'm translating the article <sneek>Welcome back civodul, you have 1 message. <sneek>civodul, phant0mas says: I managed to make coreutils build succesfully for --target=i686-pc-gnu :-D <wingo>changes to the compiler IL are pretty painful to make :P <davexunit>hoping novena enthusiasts can help fix that :) <wleslie>it's an odd number to quote, you know. it would be more interesting to say, 500 slices each 300 wide. <wleslie>spartan 6 lx seem to vary between 150k and 15k cells <mark_weaver>wleslie: here are the details of the FPGA that comes with Novena: Spartan-6 CSG324-packaged FPGA (PVT uses LX45: 43k logic cells, 6.8k slices, 54.5k ff, 401kb distributed RAM, 58 DSP48A, 2088kb block RAM) — has several interfaces to the CPU, including a 2Gbit/s (peak) RAM-like bus <mark_weaver>and there's a high-speed I/O expansion header connected to the FPGA <mark_weaver>Novena is a free board design, so one could build a modified version <dsmith-work>There are no free tools for Xilinx fpgas, right? And free tools for ANY fpga? <please_help>there is for one specific brand I forget the name of <mark_weaver>I recall hearing that there's one missing piece of the toolchain <please_help>I posted a link a month or so ago about that I think <dsmith-work>We use xilinx stuff, and we are always having problems with tools and drivers (for things like microblaze inside and fpga) <dsmith-work>"I have to postpone fpgatools development probably until 2014" <davexunit>I knew it was pretty small but it's even tinier than I thought. ***michel_mno is now known as michel_mno_afk
<daviid`>the novema laptop seems really nice as well ? <davexunit>yeah the "laptop" version is nice. I opted for the expensive, but less expensive, desktop version. <daviid`>nice but really way too expensive for me <davexunit>yeah, it's very expensive, but there's nothing else like it. <davexunit>and since I had some extra money, I wanted to support the project. <davexunit>first thing after I boot it: sudo apt-get install guile *daviid` is working on a guile-gnome-2.m4 series of macros, almost equal to guile.m4, so he and other guile-gnome developers will be able integrate their apps with the tool chain <daviid`>davexunit: no usb 3.0 right? [in your new toy] <Zerock>Anyone here use GNU Artanis? I want to know if there's an API call to get the request source's IP address so I can echo it back to them.
