Of course not
Yes I have done so several times. 2 layer and 4 layer. I can't see how it would cost me money to do so, on the other hand if I was to blindly autoroute my designs i'd spend more time troubleshooting and way more money…
I am, and I have made a few popular designs. I would consider it absolutely unnecessary, and invariably results in something that is unreliable at best. Do you have examples that show how it is essential?
Lots of time is spent trying in mprotect syscalls that fail and return a segfault for some reason, screenshots in my tweet here: https://twitter.com/LIV2/status/1585565566525444099
Not faster the second time around, every time I run each command from the makefile it takes 1 minute before there is even any output too I will try running things without involving docker and see if that changes anything
I'm not using docker desktop, I'm using docker inside a Debian VM. I'm using an x86_64 container and it's definitely using Rosetta via binfmts because if I remove that the container won't even start
I don't think so but I will double check tonight
YMMV I was excited for this because I thought it'd enable me to compile my HDL projects on my MacBook, since I'm targeting the Xilinx XC9500XL series of CPLDs this requires some an EOL design suite. Anyway, build times…
Sure but how many energy providers sell unlimited?
Would you sign up for an ISP that charges per gigabyte?
How many live within 5km / in an LGA with a beach? > Stop mistaking our country for your own. I'm Australian It's also convenient that these suburbs are not the ones being targeted by huge police operations…
Yes if you're privileged enough to live in some of the more expensive suburbs in Sydney it's not a problem at all. Screw everyone else though right?
For me it's fun being able to play around/make hardware for a system that is still simple enough for one to understand broadly how the whole thing works. The schematics are available for them & they're documented really…
This seems to be a common thing in some OSHW stuff I've seen. Some people will take your work and sell it for massive markup but the support is expected to be provided by the creator (and a lot of the issues stem from…
Great work! I had thought about trying this myself but gave up after realising I'd not have access to Trackdisk.device from Romwack - Didn't know about Coolcapture/Warmcapture. I guess I need to read up some more!
Yep, 5V tolerant CPLDs are a wonderful thing when you're making hardware for retro computers it would absolutely suck if the 9500XLs get discontinued.
Amiga disks can't be read by PC floppy controllers whether they're USB or not (barring the 2 drive hack seen here before) because they write a whole track at once and pc floppy controllers can't be programmed to…
Legal behaviour but scummy behaviour. Should big tech be deciding who gets a free trial?
Many accelerators add faster CPU, Extra memory and IDE using original Motorola cpus and FPGA/CPLDs - what's cool about this is that it does all of that mostly in software (there's a CPLD to get the 68000 bus timing…
Super toxic is amiga grifters resell open source hardware for massive markups, never contribute back & direct all support requests to the original author. Pretty understandable why people quit when all they get is abuse…
The Australian government already has that power since we have no bill of rights and no free speech
Unfortunately the market exists for insanely overpriced things for the Amiga and full of grifters who take open source hardware and sell it assembled for massive markups. Still, there are many of us who make open source…
It costs a fortune because Apple will also replace the top case, keyboard and trackpad while they’re at it
> Length matching literally costs nothing Well arguably it does cost some time yet is utterly pointless on an ISA card (unless your traces are 40 meters long I guess) there's plenty of pedantic things you could waste…
Is geekbench accurate at comparing across different architectures?
Of course not
