Chain|QZZ9000AX finally ordered \o/ :) 14:53
Chain|Qif it indeed ships in December, would be a perfect birthday gift, but no pressure :P14:54
mntmnyay!14:54
mntmnthe hopefully final release candidate pcb should be here soon, and i already bought 300x ADAU chips for the first batch ;)14:55

Claudeif I press both buttons my bank account will fire a missile at me 17:15
mntmnhahaha17:16
mntmnwhere would you buy a 4000tx?17:16
mntmnClaude: btw how is the chip shortage in intel fpga (altera) land? same problems like @ xilinx or is it better (i.e. can you currently buy chips?)17:17
gdonner@mntmn: there are A4000TXs on eBay, surprisingly (maybe a few a year?)17:22
gdonnerI have a partially working GVP T-Rex II that I'll be selling on eBay next month17:24
gdonner(PLL sync issue)17:24
mntmnhmm17:33
_BnuProbably just as bad as Xilinx. Some products no one wants may be in stock...17:36
mntmnaries MCV-2DB seems to be in stock for some reason17:38
mntmnbut going to cyclone-v would mean a complete reengineering of like, everything, with little gain17:38
mntmni.e. it wouldn't be any faster or better than zynq 702017:39
_BnuYeah, the Cyclone-V is... strange.17:39
_BnuIt's technically not much better than a Cyclone-III, aside from having more LEs?17:39
mntmnsorry i meant cyclone v SOM17:39
mntmnSOC17:39
mntmndamn it17:39
mntmnits cyclone 5 + arm cortex a917:40
_BnuMaybe you can reuse old Iyonix motherboards...17:41
_BnuBut yeah, a lot of the cheap Altera SoCs are like single core ARM + very slow FPGA interconnect.17:42
_BnuThe de10-Nano has an 800MH dual core A9, I think? Cyclone V SE, but communicating between the ARM and the FPGA is mega awful for some reason.17:45
mntmni see, interesting17:46
mntmnthe thing is we might not be getting any more zynqs before like end of 202217:47
mntmnexcept the ones we already ordered before17:47
mntmnso that's kind of the end of zz9000 then for a while17:47
Claudemntmn: no idea about intel . intel CPLD are affected a bit. I'm a lattice man , doing lattice things 17:47
mntmnok i was confused then and thought you had worked with cyclone before17:49
mntmnlattice schmattice17:49
mntmnhow is the ecp5 supply situation ;)17:49
Claudeuh I suggest staying away from cyclone 5 , unless you do a test compile first and check for timings ... cyclone 5 is surprisingly slow compared to older cyclones 17:50
mntmn> Nicht-auf-Lager-Vorlaufzeit 27 Wochen17:50
mntmnClaude: ok, thanks for the hint. 17:50
Claudenot sure if in general applicable , but was on [that FPGA Amiga thing]17:51
mntmnah it seems to depend on the part numbers @ ecp517:51
mntmnClaude: yeah :D17:51
mntmnsome ecp5s are in stock17:51
Claudeyes I bought 40 ECP5U-12 recently17:51
Claudeand have some ecp5um-85 on stock if you are desperate ;)17:52
mntmn:D17:52
mntmni am more like considering options17:52
Claudeefinix ? 17:53
mntmn> Quantum compute fabric17:53
Claudebecause mainstream FPGA are boring ! imagine the fun with Chinese / English IDE crashing 17:53
Claudethere is also things like archonix , they claim to be really really fast 17:54
mntmnwow, they are cheap17:55
mntmni mean efinix17:56
Claudeyeah 17:56
mntmn> >20 Tbps bandwidth17:56
mntmn> GDDR6 memory17:56
mntmnlol17:56
mntmn> 400G and 200G Ethernet connectivity17:56
Claudeand do a lot of pr that they can deliver even while chipageddon17:56
mntmnbizarre17:57
apolkosnik[m]Hese on Amibay sells the boards (both A4000TX, and AA3000+), and he offers assembly for some more money, but you need to source the custom chips for it17:58
Claudeapolkosnik[m]: right , that's my plan .. 18:00

apolkosnik[m]I've got both boards, but still waiting for some parts for A4000TX, so that I can assemble it over some slow winter nights18:44
apolkosnik[m]I got got the AA3000+ board more recently, so I've not even bothered to order from Mouser, but I got the DSP chip for cheap on ebay18:47
Claudefingers crossed they are not relabeled PSD chips 18:49
