Question for FPGA/ASIC friends, anynyan know of a good huge collection of RTL files?
I need to build a massive corpus for profiling a language frontend, I'm thinking about seeing what I can slurp from OpenCores, but if there are pre-built corpora out there I am interested.
I'm also working on putting together an HDL standard verification suite for Verilog/SystemVerilog/Verilog-AMS/VHDL/VHDL-AMS, so eventually forming corpora for all of those would be nice.

So, AMD is dropping Linux support for the free-tier of Vivado in 2026.1?
Who thought this was a good idea, what the actual fuck.

remember: When a cat meows, chirps, trills, or mrrps, it is important to reply in-kind.

Mmm, I like well organized schematics, they're hard to actually make, but sometimes you're happy with the result.
Time for walkies then I suppose...

I don't know what it is, but when I hear people say "I had such a feeling of accomplishment" I just, I dunno I can't relate?
Like I know what it /means/ but I don't really think I've ever felt it....
weh,

Also, big shout out to the Python Software Foundation for not bending the knee to the fascists.
More projects could learn a thing or two from that, fascists, Nazis, et. al. have no place in FOSS, get the fuck outta here, you're not welcome, go away.

100% going to need a source for that Linux sticker on the lid :3

It's a shame @npub1fh7…ee83 doesn't have a merch store, and if they did they really should lean in on the "GitHub for Lesbians" thing they did for april first.
I would 100% buy that sticker, or shirt.

Question for my EE friends,
Any good recommendations for really fast, level-shifting IO buffers?
The requirements are:
* Must be able to Tri-state one half
* Each "bit" should be able to have it's direction set independently
* Ideally 5-8ns transition time
* up to 12VDC on at least one port with 3v3/2v5/1v8 on the other
Or is this something i'm going to need to try to build out of discrete components

I unironically love it when FSMs are laid out like arcane sigils,
This is a smaller one, but the DDR state machine is peak vibes

The fact that "ChatGPT Is Down" is being passed off as "breaking news" by news orgs is so fucking depressing,
I didn't notice, nor do I care, fuck off with that shit and stop having my phone send push notifications about it, go away.
I'm so tired of all this LLM/genAI garbage, it's so depressing.

2025-05-20 09:34:25 GMT

Oh, EE friends, anyone have a good recommendation for grabbies?
Ideally decent quality, and small enough for some finer pitched TQFP not just SOICs, but also that don't break the bank.
I need like, a billion of them, I always lose them.

If you say "keep politics out of tech/software" i'm just going to assume you're a horrible person because no-one says that honestly with good and well meaning intentions,
Fuck off with that shit.

Just a heads up that newer devices have updated firmware which causes the HID fixups to fail to apply.
I've got a PR that *should* fix it for devices with newer firmware (works on mine at least, lol) https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/udev-hid-bpf/-/merge_requests/164
No idea when/if it'll be merged upstream, so might be worth tossing a mention in the article about the problem.
