I'm waiting for my Deo-nano.
I believe the package will arrive in 2 or 3 weeks.

Packages are now built and should work with your 7i77.  I caught the
first goof that kept the packages from properly building, but didn't
notice until today there was still one more (now fixed, pushed, and
packages have built successfully).

Let me know if you run into any problems.

If you don't have KiCAD handy, I pushed a copy of the BOM for reference:

https://github.com/cdsteinkuehler/bobc_hardware/blob/CRAMPS/DE0-Nano_DB25/DE0-Nano_DB25.ods

The manufacturer part number is what I used when building my boards,
any changes or substitutions requires knowing what you're doing.  :)

If you dig into the Kicad schematic, the manufacturer part number for
the level translators is actually SN74CBTD3861DW, which is designed
for 5V operation:

http://www.ti.com/product/SN74CBTD3861

The 74CBTLV3861 is left-over from using one of the default parts in
the KiCAD libraries which has the same schematic symbol and pinout, I
just forgot to change the value.

Hi Charles.

In the De0 nano adapter. Your kicad schematic link the 74cbtlv3861 supply in 
the 5V line but the datasheet describe max supply 3.6V 
It looks the 7i77 ask for 5V inputs.
PCW use something similar in the 5i25 but  5V tolerant. I'm looking at the 
sn74cbt16211. As I need only one db25 I will make a new adapter, so a single 
chip is ok for my needs. What do you think about this change?

I went ahead and made a config for the 7i77 + 7i76, based off one of
the Mesa example 5i25 configs (except the 7i76 encoder runs at full
speed, not muxed):

Hi Charles.

Yes I will use your adapter.
Only one 7i77 it's fine.

Thank you.

The DE0_Nano should be ready to use.  I was going to be using this
with a 7i76_7i85s for a controller, but am still using an x86 + 5i25
for non-technical reasons (I have a client interested in the setup I'm
working on, but they have no interest in the SoC platform).

Start with Michael's latest image and instructions on gist:

https://gist.github.com/mhaberler/89a813dc70688e35d8848e8e467a1337

http://deb.mah.priv.at/uploads/de0-nano/debian-8.5-console-armhf-2016-08-25/

You'll probably want to switch to a package based install and grab the
latest packages + FPGA configuration files.

IIRC, the FPGA and u-Boot packages are being automatically generated
(just like the Machinekit packages), but there's not yet a continuous
integration setup for building the uSD images.

NOTE: If you're using a 7i77, there will need to be a new FPGA
configuration created.  I can easily create a new config, but need a
few more details:

* Are you using my DB25 adapter board or some other adapter?

* What do you want configured on the 4 DB25 ports:

  7i77 + ??? + ??? + ???

[Machinekit] mksockfpga actual status

2016-10-18 Thread Daniel Scheeren
First I need say a big thank you for all work put in this project.
I have been following the machinekit/mksocfpga project in github for a few 
months. 
Is the De0-Nano/7i77 ready to use yet or I must continue using my actual option 
pc/5i25/7i77?
Is there some image ready to test or I must build from source?

Thanks

Daniel
