[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] listed on OpenEDATools web site ?

by Chitlesh GOORAH

Hello there, I came across the OpenEDATools web site [1]. If I got it right, we could create an introduction page there to promote FEL(and its eda tools). If that is possible, it would attract many eyes from both EDA vendors and other companies. They will learn our existence. Can anyone please investigate the pros and cons and whether it is feasible ? Based on your recommendations, I could approach RedHat legal to verify licensing compatibilities. [1] http://www.openedatools.org/ thanks Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Re: gnucap development snapshot 2009-02-02

by Thomas Sailer

I made an initial fedora package of the current gnucap development snapshot that is parallel installable to the existing gnucap-0.35: http://sailer.fedorapeople.org/gnucap36-20090202-1.fc10.src.rpm However, I cannot even get a simple inverter using BSIM3 3.2.4 to work, convergence fails during op. The same spice netlist works with ngspice 17. Does anyone have an example of how to use bsim3 with gnucap? Thanks, Tom

by David John

Hi Shakthi I will also be presenting at Barton Hill on 21st, but on a different topic. I will bring a full chip plot and also be taped-lid sample for the same chip, students can get an idea of how a finished layout and corresponding sample device will look like.

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Your views on "trac on a Livecd " ?

by Chitlesh GOORAH

Hello there, My intension is to enhance project management (with respect to electronics) experience while designing hardware with FEL. So on the FEL Livedvd which is a marketing medium, I wish to give users an _example_ about how they can use trac and git/svn for hardware development and track the open tickets. Thereby in the quest of improving the hardware design methodologies on FEL, and expanding our marketing portfolio, I wish to hear from you how I can implement such trac/git/svn session on the LiveDVD if I provide some contents (examples) ? Kind regards, Chitlesh

Hello, We didn't have positive feedbacks. All I can do is release a SRPM of SystemC without the source. In that SRPM, you will find the patches and the preparation which would be done if SystemC would be included into Fedora. I'll write a tutorial soon how to use it. I am inviting you to join Fedora Electronic Lab mailing list where I will do the announcement when I have the SRPM ready. https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-electronic-lab-list Kind regards, Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Trademark request: Fedora Electronic Lab

by Chitlesh GOORAH

Hello there, For the fourth consecutive fedora releases, I'm requesting Fedora Board the permission to use Fedora trademark and Fedora Logos with respect to the work done behind Fedora Electronic Lab. == About FEL == Fedora Electronic Lab is Fedora's high-end hardware design, simulation and verification platform. It helps users to create chips, pcbs ... Website : http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/ Our work done are summarised on this page http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/devel/FEL_devel_timeline.html. Even items for F-12 development cycle are listed. In brief, Fedora Electronic Lab's goals sum up to * Propose a portfolio for hardware _design_ with opensource tools * Propose a portfolio to _simulate_ hardware design with opensource tools * Propose a portfolio for hardware design _verification_ with opensource tools * Provide methodologies to use opensource EDA tools in an efficient way * Promote a community around FEL * Bridge 2 communities - opensource software community and opensource hardware community * help new opensource EDA software developers * Help upstream with the marketing of their tools * Lead the opensource communities to the current semiconductor industry trend * Help lecturers include software under the FEL umbrella in their syllabus - we have already since on fedora marketing and fedora electronic lab mailing list, that some indian lecturers have already done so. The last three FEL releases exceeded our expectations - at least mine -. We are hoping that with F11 we could put the quality barrier even higher and expands our FEL portfolios. If you have any doubts or questions please feel free to reply to this email. Kind regards, Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] heads up : toped and Nvidia graphic card

by Chitlesh GOORAH

Hello there, Some testing is being carried out for F11. There are 2 opensource drivers for Nvidia graphics card: - nv - nouveau. Fedora 11 will have "nouveau " driver by default. Thereby if you are planning to do an _yum update_ from F10 to F11, be sure to change your xorg.conf accordingly. The graphical interface system-config-display will help you set up the xorg.conf in less than 10 seconds. With nv driver, you will find toped's message: """Toped can't obtain required GLX Visual. Check your video driver/setup please""" If you will use the "nouveau" driver, you will not experience such error message and use toped normally. kind regards, Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Heads up rawhide users

by Chitlesh GOORAH

Hello there, if you are currently using fedora-development repository and missed one yum update for rpm, yum will fail with for example Error unpacking rpm package 2:libpng-1.2.35-1.fc11.i586 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/libpng.so.3.35.0;49abc855: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch Installing : libpng-devel 2/2 Error unpacking rpm package 2:libpng-devel-1.2.35-1.fc11.i586 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/libpng12-config;49abc855: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch To solve this issue you will need to download rpm and rpm-libs from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=83804 Then do a manual install. This only concerns rawhide users. Thanks for testing chitlesh
