I'm considering moving my git repos to #Codeberg (from GitHub). If you have open source projects on Codeberg, I'd be interested to learn from your experience. I host my own web sites, so it's only the core git stuff I need to worry about. 🙏

A Tiny FABulous FPGA on Tiny Tapeout? It's more likely than you think!

Yesterday the TTIHP26a shuttle (https://app.tinytapeout.com/shuttles/ttihp26a) from #TinyTapeout has closed. In it, hundreds of incredible projects.
You can view the full shuttle and its designs here: https://app.tinytapeout.com/projects/3744

I had the opportunity to submit an FPGA, which I created using my FABulous LibreLane plugin. For this fabric, I developed a "tiny" tile library that better fits the constraints of Tiny Tapeout.

I've just updated 🏝️Isle chapter 6 software. It's exciting to work on big designs and graphics engines, but building a usable computer is about the small things too. #FPGAFriday

https://github.com/projf/isle/tree/main/software/book/ch06

You can find the source code on GitHub (I'm considering moving to Codeberg): https://github.com/projf/isle

Includes everything you need for:
* @machdyne Lakritz (Lattice ECP5)
* Digilent Nexys Video (Xilinx XC7)
* Radiona #ULX3S (Lattice ECP5)
* Verilator simulator with SDL (Linux/macOS/Windows)

Sometimes you need to ship it and call it a night, so I give you 🏝️ Isle.Computer Chapter 6 - Input Output: https://projectf.io/isle/input-output.html

Adds input hardware, uart, Isle edition of FemtoRV "Gracilis" RV32IMC CPU, software library in #riscv asm, Verilator/SDL sim improvements... #FPGA

TFW you realise something obvious. "Somebody to Love" is Queen doing gospel. And what a song it is when turned up to 11.

Is anyone surprised by this anymore?

“Around the time when Facebook was arguing that it was just a ‘mirror to society’, internal documents shared with the BBC by Motyl, the senior researcher, reveal how the company knew it was amplifying content which angered people and even incited harm.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj9kgxqjwjo

Meta and TikTok let harmful content rise after evidence outrage drove engagement - whistleblowers

Companies allowed more harmful content on user’s feeds, knowing their algorithms ran on outrage, BBC hears.

I always think the next chapter of 🏝️ Isle.Computer will be smaller and done sooner, but it never is. 😅

96 changed files with 6,169 additions and 538 deletions.

Bear in mind this includes docs, tests, support for multiple dev boards, simulation, and compiled software in Verilog $readmemh format.

Board testing in advance of #FPGAFriday. The answer was 42. #ULX3S
