Damn. I have a fix for that in my local repo which i seem to have forgotten to submit:

EDIT: scratch that, it was part of github.com/enjoy-digital/liteeth/pull/124. You should probably update the rest of litex, too.

I installed litex a few days ago.
Patched and this error gone, but now <ERROR:SoCBusHandler:Not enough Address Space to allocate Region.>

That is another patch that is already in master. Also from the above pull/124 you probably missed the rx-corruption path.
I also installed litex a few days ago (with litex_setup.py) and all the patches are in there.

I tried to build a config according to your specs, but it doesn't meet timing constraints yet, it might be a bit full. Still looking...

I pushed a conf+bitstream to branch jp4 (github.com/sensille/litehm2/tree/jp4), can you please have a look if that suites your needs? I haven't tested it yet.

Compiled.
Well, upgrade is when fixing old bugs and adding new, they say...
First, I run /opt/litex/litex_setup.py --update
After that I got error meaning "there is no spiflash section in  /opt/litex/litex-boards/litex_boards/platforms/linsn_rv901t.py".
In fact, there is no.
I patched as below, but I don't know the pins for flash are correct.
After that compilation went, very long time (~ 30 min), but went.
The firmware not tested yet.

Yes, see github.com/litex-hub/litex-boards/pull/506. Don't add JP4, i do that in hostmot2.py.

In case of RV901T you should cut one trace in two places then solder it to GND and add a smd 0805 1k resistor to 3V3. In the end you will get U603, U607, U602, U606 as input and U605, U601, U604, U600 as output ports.


Do you by any chance have more information on where to cut it? A pic, or a link?

If you wouldn't mind to post this info here then  tomorrow I will do this with pics and an explanation.

RV901T Modification
There are two options. 
The first one consists of:
1. removing of R608 resistor (upper part of the board)
2. cutting the track which goes to FPGA F13 pin,
3. solder the resistor (0805 1K) that will pull up to 5V upper segment of the track
4. cutting the track  (bottom right corner)
5. connecting its bottom part to GND polygon

The second one consist of:
1. cutting the track (bottom right corner)
2. connecting its bottom part to GND polygon
3. in FPGA "connect" F13 pin to Vcc

All of these options work.

 
 

I hope I was able to explain the point
Regarding the supply voltage of the 245 buffers. Currently I have two boards that works with no modification of supply voltage. It is 5V (4.89 in fact). Of course it does not meet the requirements DC characteristics of Spartan6 but it works.I can't tell how long this will last.
It would be safer to power them from a lower voltage. One easy way to add a  silicon diode to the +5V that supply the board.

Seems very clear on what to remove, cut, add, and solder.
Thank you.
