Bertl_oO: I have a problem with diamond:
16:01
anuejn
when I try to constrain an internal net with a clock constraint I get the error message "Source for clock clk not found in netlist."
16:02
anuejn
I guess the net is somehow optimized away during synth
16:03
anuejn
even when i attach keep=TRUE or syn_keep=1 as an attribute it doesnt work
16:03
anuejn
do you have any trick for that?
16:08
Bertl_oO
there are a number of attributes which might prevent that
16:08
Bertl_oO
(not sure for Lattice, never encountered the issue there)
16:09
Bertl_oO
for Vivado there is dont_touch and several keep variants
16:09
Bertl_oO
also it is important to have the attribute on the correct 'object'
16:09
Bertl_oO
i.e. a keep on a net doesn't do much, there you need a 'debug' attribute
16:39
anuejn
ah interesting, thanks
16:40
anuejn
in vivado keep on the wire does seem to help but in diamond sadly not
17:22
Bertl_oO
to complicate things, it also changes from tool version to version
17:27
anuejn
oh off
17:28
anuejn
luckily nmigen should handle that for me but sadly that is currently broken :(

anuejn: so, all diamond problems solved for now?
22:17
anuejn
yup :)
22:17
anuejn
found a solution
22:18
anuejn
the default hierarchy seperator in sdl files is "." while EVERYWHERE ELSE it is "/"
22:18
anuejn
and "$" needs to be escaped even if you surround it by {}
22:18
anuejn
that tool...
22:21
Bertl_oO
it is always fun to demystify those tools ...

btw, did you read that article about decrypting Xilinx 7series bitstreams with the help of the FPGA?
22:25
anuejn
no?

22:25
anuejn
sounds interesting
22:26
Bertl_oO
well, it boils down to letting the FPGA decrypt the bitstream word by word via the programming interface
