Where to find urukul CPLD firmware for ARTIQ9/10

bodokaiser

Hi,

We upgraded one of our Kaslis to the nac3 branch of the ARTIQ repo but cannot program our Urukuls because they only support proto rev 8.

The official repos link to https://github.com/quartiq/urukul but there hasn't been any update for years.
There is also https://git.m-labs.hk/M-Labs/urukul-pld but it's unclear if this is the new official firmware.

Can anyone point us to the correct repo?

Thank you and best wishes,
Bodo

No need to reflash Urukuls. Try changing to ProtoRev8 here:
https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/blob/nac3/artiq/coredevice/urukul.py#L789
(and edit the rest of the code accordingly)

Yes, that worked. Also had to edit ad9910.py. Would you welcome a PR that supports both versions?

Also, are there plans to support https://git.m-labs.hk/M-Labs/urukul-pld so one can uses ramps etc.?

Yes definitely, I've been planning to work on it. With the recent fixes to nac3 type generics, in theory there are no more blockers.

Let me know if the following needs to be updated.

sb10q I looked into this yesterday but am unsure which approach you would like to see.

Using KernelInvariant[SyncDataUser | SyncDataEeprom] for sync_data doesn't seem to be supported by the compiler.

One could use a python generic, e.g., SyncDataT and then either do AD9910[SyncDataEeprom] or AD9910[SyncDataUser]?

Generic would be the way, but as it turns out there are still some bugs in the type system implementation. If you could fix that, it would be amazing.
