Update: i was able to ping the board. Only by using litecolor. So it is working. However when i try to use liteeth. Pinging the board is not working. I'm trying to get a working liteeth core. I Will keep this page updated when i find something.

Hi @haubke,

can you share a link to the design that worked on your hardware? and link or command to the one that does not work? I'll try to understand the differences.

Is there anything I could do to help make this a reality? I unfortunately bought v8.2 boards without realizing they were not yet supported, so I'm now motivated to help fix the litex repos to support what I have!

I see it looks like the pinouts have largely been documented - https://github.com/q3k/chubby75/blob/master/5a-75b/hardware_V8.2.md - should I just try and walk through the tables and generate matching values in platforms/colorlight_5a_75b.py ?

Edit: looking deeper, the only difference between the v8.0 and the v8.2 is that the v8.2 has a different FPGA - LFE5U-25F-7BG256I instead of the LFE5U-25F-6BG256C

I'm testing this change here: kscz@849e7a5

@kscz: If the boards has been documentated, you can indeed try to update the platform and test. If issues, you can ask here, we'll try to help.

I am attempting to use https://github.com/enjoy-digital/colorlite to test out my changes, but I'm getting an error: Cannot extract CSR name from code, need to specify

I tried getting rid of all my changes and creating a clean environment, and I'm getting errors just trying to make ./colorlite.py --build work at all

Is there something I need to change to get your "colorlite" repository working?

I created an issue here - enjoy-digital/colorlite#11

Edit: It appears that migen does not support python 3.13 - I'm attempting to test by downgrading to python 3.12

Anything I can do to help move along the PR?

srr for the late reply, dont recall why i could not get it to work . as of now i'm using lucyrausch liteeth core(from colorlite led cube) on a version 8.2 board. (if oyu plan on using this, there is a 32bit bus for udp_source_data, in reality its only 7 bits wide.).

i also could not get migen to install. so i did not build the latest core.
