morning folks!
08:13
kbeckmann
good morning!
08:14
kbeckmann
i think i will do a test today where i connect a logic analyzer to the control pins on the ft600 to visualize exactly how bad USB 3 + ftdi drivers are essentially.
08:15
Bertl
sounds like a plan!

kbeckmann: any results?
19:27

(I am quite interested in seeing why the test results from bertl were so disappointing)

kbeckmann
i did some testing today and honestly it looked pretty good
19:44
se6ast1an
use:
19:44
se6ast1an
<pre class="code">
19:44
se6ast1an
</pre>
19:44
se6ast1an
the space before the first <pre... is important
19:44
se6ast1an
kbeckmann: nice!
19:45
se6ast1an
can you share?
19:46
kbeckmann
sorry for the format, but i recorded a stream that i did a few hours ago. let me see if i can find the interesting timestamps. but MB/s-wise, i get 190 MB/s out of 200 which is the theoretical max.
19:47
kbeckmann
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/695349295 the interesting stuff starts at around 27 minutes
19:47
se6ast1an
that indeed sounds very promising!
19:47
kbeckmann
i attached a logic analyzer to the state machine and plotted the transitions

kbeckmann: what logic analyzer is that?
19:50
Bertl
I recognize the GUI (Saleae) but the dvice looks like one of the chinese logic analyzers
19:50
Bertl
*device
19:51
kbeckmann
yep it's one of those cheap clones. sampling at 12MS/s
19:51
Bertl
okay, so you are running at less than 6MHz there?
19:52
kbeckmann
what i was looking for was significant delays, that we should see even with that
19:52
Bertl
well, we were 'good' up to about half the theoretical bandwidth limit
19:53
Bertl
so I wouldn't expect anything unusual at 6/10MHz :)
19:53
kbeckmann
mm.. but i was expecting to see a few us of delay actually
19:53
kbeckmann
but that didn't show up at all
19:57
Bertl
I suspect the issue we were seeing resulted from the driver not being able to handle the data properly
19:58
Bertl
i.e. not the FT60x side, but the receiver side
20:04
kbeckmann
i see. maybe you could test writing a loopback or constant source gateware and test it with the example code that just consumes data?
20:05
Bertl
yes, we have a generator HDL which does simply feed PRNG data all the time
20:06
Bertl
I'm currently swamped with unrelated stuff, but it should be better next week, if you like we can get a test setup you can access remotely or so?
20:06
kbeckmann
ah i see
20:06
kbeckmann
oh yeah sure, that sounds cool
20:07
Bertl
great! I'll keep you updated on the progress then
20:07
kbeckmann
sounds good :)
20:09
Bertl
btw, nice 'live stream'
20:09
Bertl
do you do that on a regular basis?
20:10
kbeckmann
thanks, it was my first so i probably just rambled :p
20:10
kbeckmann
i am thinking of doing that but not sure if people are interested
20:11
kbeckmann
i'll try to have a better focus next time and announce it earlier. this was basically just a test
20:11
Bertl
not bad for a first/test run
20:11
kbeckmann
thx
20:12
Bertl
I've seen a lot worse from established live streamers :)
20:12
kbeckmann
hehe
20:12
kbeckmann
i am not used to talk and think at the same time. always messed up when whiteboarding etc :p
20:12
Bertl
you'll get used to it ...
