Add toolchain-iverilog packages about platform-lattice_ice40 HOT 12 CLOSED

Yes, thanks for the tip!

from platform-lattice_ice40.

Hi,

I have created this file https://github.com/FPGAwars/toolchain-iverilog/blob/master/manifest.json, and added its reference to this repo's platform.json.

I obtain Error: Detected unknown package.

Is there some semantic/strong relation between tag, version and package name?

I have used sha1sum over the package file. Is this correct?

Thanks.

1. Currently, package manager supports zip and tar.gz formats (Python-native, for cross-platform).
2. Package should contain package.json manifest. Please check any PIO3 package.

from platform-lattice_ice40.

Thanks. I will rebuild the packages with this format.

I just rebuild all the packages with the required format: https://github.com/FPGAwars/toolchain-iverilog/releases/tag/v1.0.0.

A last question. For future versions is it better to add those new packages to the manifest, or to substitute the version fields?. I have observed both behaviors.

Thanks!

For future versions it is better to add those new packages to the manifest, or to substitute the version fields.

It depends on a situation. If released development platform depends on version 1.0.0 and you are working on dev version of development platform that depends on 1.0.1, in this case, you need to have 2 versions in manifest.

There is no problem when many versions will be defined in a manifest. PlatformIO Package Manager will look for the best version which matches with requirements in platform.json.

I think that we can remove all base package manifests from here and define your manifests.

Ok.

Yes, thats what I am testing in my fork: https://github.com/Jesus89/platform-lattice_ice40/blob/iverilog/platform.json#L21. I prefer by now to keep the old manifests because of the toolchain-icestorm packate, that will be updated with 1.10.0 (FPGAwars/toolchain-icestorm#63) because it will be a stable release.

Do you have a problem on Windows? OS should resolve it automatically.

from platform-lattice_ice40.

I check Windows to resolve .exe extensions. Also it is required for icarus verilog and vvp execution arguments.

from platform-lattice_ice40.

I will update it to use Windows check only for icarus verilog execution (#4)

from platform-lattice_ice40.

I asked because we have tons of Windows binaries and don't use this checking.

I think that SCons handles this calling when processing Action.
