Things to test before next apio release (2024) #444

Open zapta opened 1 week ago

zapta commented 1 week ago

@Obijuan, @cavearr, this issue lists functionality of apio that may have changed but was not tested, for example because lack of boards or platforms. Please make sure to revisit and test it before the next release.

I will add comments to this thread as we go.

'apio upload' command with a tinyprog board.

To Test

Run an apio upload command with a tinyprog board. Verify that the progress percentage report stays on a single line instead of scrolling down.

Notes

The scons filter was changed to preserve formatting and empty lines and this may cause the percentage report to scroll down. If this is the case, the likely fix would be to add erasure of a second line in the tinyprog filter.

print(CURSOR_UP + ERASE_LINE + CURSOR_UP + ERASE_LINE, end="", flush=True)

'apio upload' command with a fumu board.

To Test

Run an apio upload command with a fumo board. Verify that the progress percentage report stays on a single line instead of scrolling down.

Notes

The scons filter was changed to preserve formatting and empty lines and this may cause the percentage report to scroll down. If this is the case, the likely fix would be to add erasure of a second line in the fumu filter.

print(CURSOR_UP + ERASE_LINE + CURSOR_UP + ERASE_LINE, end="", flush=True)

Ok @zapta ! good work! i'm try to prepare a rig with some fpgaboards to automtize the checks, i think could be very interesting

Test all commands with a Gowin project

Currently we have test projects, with testbenches, for ICE40 and ECP5 (see below) but not for Gowin such that some of the development we are doing is with no testing, even not manual.
