Collaborate with timvideos/litex-buildenv and litex-hub/linux-on-litex-vexriscv?

[mithro]

Hi!

We are working on getting the panologic-g2 into the timvideos/litex-buildenv repository and litex-hub/linux-on-litex-vexriscv repository (plus the general Migen/LiteX ecosystem).

This ecosystem supports Zephyr, MicroPython and Linux (on three/four architectures OpenRISC1000, RISC-V 32bit and soon PowerPC + SH4).

We have a tutorial for Linux on the Arty board and are working on getting the LiteX patches upstream.

#litex and #timvideos on irc.freenode.net is where we mostly hangout.

It would be awesome to collaborate more here!

I'd love that too, but last time I tried to get LiteX working, I got stuck in an endless loop of git submodules not being up to date and an almost complete lack of up-to-date "Getting Started" documentation.. except for some YouTube videos. But nobody has time to watch a video.

Have things changed?

We have had comprehensive set of tutorials in the wiki for at least a couple of years now. See the page at https://github.com/timvideos/litex-buildenv/wiki/HowTo-LCA2018-FPGA-Miniconf-VexRiscv-Renode or https://github.com/timvideos/litex-buildenv/wiki/HowTo-FuPy-on-iCE40-Boards example.

If you know what you are doing there is also the repo at https://github.com/litex-hub/linux-on-litex-vexriscv/blob/master/README.md#prerequisites

Please also do ask for help on IRC if you get stuck.
