Good news open-source #FPGA fans, there's a new release of nextpnr (place and route) from @yosyshq.com. The release notes mention "Numerous improvements to Gowin support": github.com/YosysHQ/next...

TFW you when you realise something you want obviously exists, you didn't think about it the right way. #riscv me: it would be cool if there was an instruction that swapped 1 and -1 in a register riscv: there's a pseudoinstruction for that! **neg** me: oh yeah, I've even written about that

It's about time I updated my recommended #FPGA links. Send me a suggestion this #FPGAFriday. 😊 projectf.io/recommended-...

It's oddly satisfying that 100 in decimal is 0x64 in hex. 🤔

When checking the BIOS version of AMD EPYC servers, I discovered they still have excellent floppy support, at least at the BIOS level. #floppydiskforever

I've been trying to find an Amiga RGB to VGA adapter for a friend without success, but I did just unearth this at the bottom of a box of cables. It still has the ©1996 "Connected by Lindy" stickers. #MARCHintosh #LiveLaughLocaltalk

With #MARCHintosh arriving tomorrow, I thought I'd kick off a thread with some of my favourite early #Macintosh things from SystemTalk. ☺️ systemtalk.org/post/macinto...

I was just asked why I went with RISC-V over 68000 in an FPGA design. I know some wonderful people. Never change. 😄

Apple announced the LaserWriter 40 years ago today. 🎈 The ~$6000 LaserWriter was crucial to Apple’s DTP success. It included 4 fonts: Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, and Times. systemtalk.org/post/macinto...

Working on a new #FPGA blog post this evening. I'll be sharing the draft with my sponsors in the next few days. @yosyshq.com "Yosys and nextpnr have excellent support for Lattice ECP5 FPGAs. However, without using the ECP5 PLL, you're stuck running at the speed of your dev board oscillator..."
