Online SpinalHDL webinar December 10 2023

[Dolu1990]

Hi,

Here is a new edition of the december SpinalHDL webinar :D
The idea would be to have presentations made by the community / you to present something around SpinalHDL (project / API / dev / ...).
The date would be December 10 between 9am to 1pm UTC.
Let's me know if you are interrested / would have a presentations / what you would like to present ^^

Deadline to propose a talk : last day of November

[Readon]

I am planning on introduce the usage of SpinalHDL/docker and msys2-installer, which can ease some pain for starter to setup the whole environment.

[Readon]

Title: Get started with SpinalHDL with a simplified setup.
Speaker: Yindong Xiao
Duration: 20mn + 5mn questions
Abstract : The existing SpinalHDL environment requires several steps to install, and the user may encounter various problems during the process. This is not very friendly to newcomers, especially students, who need to spend a lot of time learning how to work with the environment rather than the design itself. On the other hand, the installation process requires access to the Internet, which is not possible for many companies and places with poor network conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a better way of offline installable to simplify the usage. The talk will show how to quickly and easily set up a development environment using Docker on Linux or the MSYS2 installation tool on Windows.

Planning to present the recently developped spinal.lib.misc.pipeline API

[Dolu1990]

Title: Pipelining API introduction
Speaker: Charles Papon
Duration: 30mn + 10mn questions
Abstract : VexRiscv and NaxRiscv had their own pipelining API, now it's time for SpinalHDL to integrate its own ! This talk will introduce the recently added spinal.lib.misc.pipeline API. It mainly allows the user to define pipeline without having to manualy propagate data through the pipeline and define the arbitration, but also allows quite a few additional design patterns that will be demonstrated during the talk.

Title: The J1Sc Family.
Speaker: Christopher Lozinski
Duration: 25 Minuts + 5 Minutes Questions.

The J1 in Scala (J1Sc) is the newest member of a large family of stack processors. When your finite state machines become too complex and you don’t have an SoC, it is time to use a soft core processor. The j1 is a small stack processor. It can run Forth, a small Reverse Polish notation programming language, Forth includes an interpreter, which is great for hardware debugging. The J1Sc Coding style will be compared with the original J1 Verilog. There are so many variants of the J1, really the only way to manage them all from a single code base is with a high level tool like SpinalHDL.

Pico Ice Give Away
I will be giving away a Pico Ice circuit board.

The pico-ice is a small, low cost board with the Raspberry Pi Pico processor (RP2040) and a Lattice Semiconductor iCE40UP5K FPGA. The board features independent flash for the FPGA and RP2040, low power SSRAM, a couple of pushbuttons and a 3 color LED with all FPGA and RP2040 pins brought out to easy to use 0.1” header pins (arranged as Pmod’s) for fast prototyping.

Only four days left until the deadline of Call For Presenters. (Nov. 30, 2023) If you are interested in sharing, please hurry up and submit your name, title and abstract. Thank you :-)

[Dolu1990]

For the schedule, i propose that there is at least 10 mn between talk (including question), so that way, we have some margin for longer than planned talks ^^

[yportne13]

Title: Some Tips on Using Memory Black Box in SpinalHDL
Speaker: yportne13
Duration: 10mn
Abstract: In this lecture, I will share some tips and tricks on how to use Memory Black Box in SpinalHDL. The main contents include the following four points: how to automatically select an appropriate implementation method based on Memory size, how to send bist enable signal to all Memories, how to add new interfaces to Memory, and how to manage bist logic.

all these above is translated from chinese by a llm: mistral-7b-instruct. the translation is not so good as i expect, i may change it later. as for my english is so bad, this speech will be given by a TTS, and there won't be a QA time after speech. this speech will base on my github repository: https://github.com/yportne13/SpinalMemBist

[chenbo-again]

Title: Pcie Brief Introduction
Speaker: chenbo
Duration: 25mn
Abstract: In this lecture, I will share 3 subtopics

1. pcie brief introduction, I will give audience basic knowledge of pcie.
2. xilinx pcie, explain some concepts in pcie through xilinx pcie integrated block and it's example design.
3. spinal pcie, overview of spinal pcie facility and it's future

The time in the poster is Central European Time, and please convert to your time zone. Looking forward to all of you and the audiences who are interested in SpinalHDL:-)

Here are my slides for my talk tomorrow on "The J1Sc Family of Processors".
https://pythonlinks.info/presentations/forth/SpinalHDLPresentation.pdf
Basically my talk is about using small soft core stack machines running Forth instead of Finite State Machines, or RISC-V processors. I argue that SpinalHDL is most needed to manage the complexity of the options.

[SandmanDZ]

Here is the video recordings of the workshop, thank you everyone and enjoy your holidays~~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kXC__VmdNI&list=UULFWUHBRLuUCvoDNQPsyeZ5TQ

[andreasWallner]

Thanks for all the work!
Slides and code to my talk can be found here: https://github.com/andreasWallner/SpinalHDL-intro-talk-2023
Wanted to post that under the YT video, but it seems that comments are turned off since it's on "for kids"

[PythonLinks]

Was there a recording of this conference? One of my followers wants to watch my talk.

[Dolu1990]

Here it is ^^
