Error trying to convert xcvu095-ffva2104-2-e.device to json #127

Open zhilix opened 2 years ago

zhilix commented 2 years ago

I ran this under python-fpga-interchange:

python3 -m fpga_interchange.convert \
    --schema_dir "/home/local/eda15/zhilix/projects/RapidWright/interchange/fpga-interchange-schema/interchange" \
    --schema device \
    --input_format capnp \
    --output_format json \
    xcvu095-ffva2104-2-e.device \
    xcvu095-ffva2104-2-e.json

and got the error:

It's unrecommended to do such conversion for anything that isn't a very small device (ie. testarch). I once attempted to export xczcu7ev to JSON and ran out of memory. If you have something smaller, you may try exporting it to YAML, I believe this method worked better.

What I would recommend (and I personally use) is to load the device in context of python interpreter in REPL mode. I've made a small script for myself to preload when entering REPL mode. It makes it easier to load the device and navigate it.

See: https://github.com/chipsalliance/python-fpga-interchange/pull/164 Make sure you are using 1.0.0 version of capnp package. Newer versions have some breaking changes.
