Cannot "make image"

[siffland]

I know this is very early and was just trying to play along and create an image. If i follow the instruction in the readme i get the following error:

./confdata.c:1046:2: note: 'sprintf' output between 20 and 4116 bytes into a destination of size 4097

Using a fresh Ubuntu and Docker install. Just want to help make the docs a little better and play along. Also would not mind seeing if the image works on a mango pi (since it has the same foot print as a pi zero).

OK thanks for reporting this. I just pushed a fix. Please try this:

git pull
make rootshell
make mistex defconfig
make image

[hansfbaier]

And I see no reason why it shouldn't work with the Mango Pi as long as it uses the Allwinner D1 and you connect the same pins.

[hansfbaier]

After the image is built, you will run into issues with openFPGALoader. I am preparing a fix for that.

[siffland]

Awesome, it is compiling now, my build VM is a bit slow. The Mango Pi does use a D1 and is the same form factor as a Raspberry Pi zero (I believe the GPIO is the same), and I have it laying around. I ordered a DECA board to play with, but it has not arrived yet.

I think this project is great for the community moving forward.

[hansfbaier]

OK I am now done with fixing myopenFPGALoader. Please pull again.

[hansfbaier]

@siffland Ordering the DECA was a bit quick. I actually chose the DECA, because I thought it was not available anymore. Where were you able to get it? As it turned out, if using HDMI its resources (especially BRAM) are way too small for most cores. You could only run Template and Menu_MiSTeX. Main target going forward will be the QMTech Artix100T board. There are, however, efforts by a south american retro computing group (lead by @somhi) to use the MiSTeX menu system to load non-MiSTer cores, with the DeMiSTify framework.

[siffland]

No worries, the XC7A100T is the one i ordered. For some reason when i posted above I got the names mixed up. The DECA is was no where in stock anywhere.

It is compiling again.

OK I just ran a successful image build with this
