If someone want to play with github.com/multigcs/Remora-FPGA Working on Olimex ICE40HX8K-EVB and TinyFPGA-BX5Mhz Step-Clock is no problem for the hardware

That's so cool. Well done!
Is the FPGA code using the DDS step generation algorithm?

Thanks,
no i'm using clock generators and counters,
it's like one Hardware-Timer/Counter for each joint on normal Microcontroller's.

Ok, I got it goin so far if you wanna test it out a bit. The serial output it good so at least. It uses the 26pin header for spi and serial, i only tested serial today.
Doesnt work with bootloader yet, so load it via DFU
I put a firmware.bin and basic config.txt
I was about to test it more, but it doesnt look like I can use my A4988/DRV8825 drivers. Keep in mind spi stepper driver things arent supported in remora, so you probably need to use 2209 or external drivers or something like fysetc fancy 5160 things. Unless those spi ones configure some other way, I dont know to much about them.

Just dropping in to say hi to Cakeslob and let him know I'm looking forward to seeing progress on the linuxCNC front with regular 3d printer control boards!
In particular I am hoping to use the Spider King board!

Maybe something for you:
github.com/multigcs/LinuxCNC-RIO/tree/ma...Bridge/ESP32-PoE-ISO
So you can use SPI Boards via UDP
I use this to connect my FPGA to Ethernet at the moment,
should work directly with the Remora-nvem component.

It's a bit easier to just use something like a W5500 chip directly via SPI (Scott already has code working for this).
With FlexiHAL we have a small add-on module in the works so that people aren't reliant on a Pi even though they are getting easier to find - we have not yet found another SBC that has adequate GPU driver support for Probe Basic.
Currently working on DMA transfers (even just using IRQ is a reasonable improvement), again just following on from the work that Scotta has already done.

what do you think these guys are doin?
They have something going on with with remora comp and an stm32f103 bluepill board, but i didnt see any firmware posted. I sent them an email a few weeks ago but no reply
