Arch Linux User Repository

If the build is missing gowin/chipdb/chipdb-GW1N-9C.bba use prjapicula bumped to 0.2a3 rather then 0.2a2 in the AUR as of today. Already flagged as outdated. Please consider adding min version.

<s>The prjtrellis-git package is severely broken - if you need a VCS version of trellis, use trellis-git.</s>

prjtrellis-git has gone through a deletion and resubmission, and is now the recommended package.

Hi,

Great package. There is only a small detail about the prjtrellis dependency, maybe not being necessarily a problem of this package. In the makedepends for the ECP5 architecture, there is a strict dependency on the package prjtrellis which is only found in the community repository. Although prjtrellis-git also exists on AUR, both of them set provides=libtrellis (and unfortunately none of them provides=prjtrellis). Therefore I would suggest to change the makedepend prjtrellis to libtrellis to be able to select between both and not force the repository version on each nextpnr-git update.

See:

• https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=prjtrellis-git#n15

• https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/prjtrellis/trunk/PKGBUILD#L14

optdepends are optional runtime dependencies and are always installed during build, so that solution isn't appropriate - thanks for the reminder though, I finally committed @rpls patch.

Hi, I would suggest to move the supported architecture in optdepends. And generate the cmake options according to the actually installed corresponding packages. This would remove need to edit PKGBUILD for anyone not needing everything.

With all the different supported target architectures, the dependencies are getting a bit out of hand. :-) This makes it a bit neater (similar to the emacs-git AUR package) and enables some user customization. But in no way a must-have, just a suggestion.

@rpls: thanks, added!

Nextpnr now support GowinSemi FPGAs with "Project Apicula". I added a package for the requirements and validated it on a FPGA with the examples provided by prjapicula.

@jamonterrell: see my comment below yours, the VCS package guidelines actually tell you how to add the submodules to source=() properly.

This is currently not working due to git submodules not being updated before build (causes -lpthreads error).

Fix below:
