Started with @GSGlabs LUNA to build a custom USB device with @enjoy_digital LiteX.
✅ LiteX now includes an Amaranth2VConverter module: it's now easy to integrate Amaranth cores.
✅ An LUNA ACM wrapper is integrated and can serve as a ValentyUSB alternative.
Tested on the @RadionaOrg ULX4M board.

I have decided to spend my week off work by working.

Currently, this means more diagrams for the Cologne Chip GateMate.

It's time to search for JTAG's documentation (must be understood: reverse on USB trafic/Logic Analyzer).

As I did not post for a long time I will start from an end. We got #ULX5M-GS up and running!!! #CM5 pin compatible #FPGA #SoM with #EU Cologne #GateMate A1 and fully open source toolchain. Still lots of work left, but I am really happy to see DVI out!
