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.

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

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.

It's a shame Codeberg (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

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.

Ideally decent quality, and small enough for some finer pitched TQFP not just SOICs, but also that don't break the bank.

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.
