Just wonder - why are EDA tools just now starting to get HiDPI support? I’m pretty sure Altera, Xilinx/AMD, etc haven’t bought HiDPI monitors for their own developers!

There are certainly people removing high-end FPGAs from surplus/scrap commercial products and reselling them.

The top-level Verilog module and Vivado .xdc file (contains pin mappings, timing constraints, etc) from Gidel for the HawkEye 20G-48. [0] No SDK from Gidel though.

My back burner project for them is to create a PCIe TLP sniffer/MiTM/device emulator by hooking up two together via 10 GbE for relaying TLPs with one of the remaining 10 GbE connection going to a host PC for the sniffed/injected TLPs. The Aria 10 FPGA PCIe hard IP allows for either root or endpoint mode so I “just” need to draw the rest of the owl, avoiding any Quartus IP modules that would make the setup non-transparent.

I’m not sure what using a 10 Gbit link for PCIe will be like with faster devices but fail0verflow got away with TLP proxying with 115200 baud UART. [1]

Vivado, along with expensive adaptors, supports some JTAG dongles that are just FT2232 with an EEPROM that contains USB descriptors that Vivado recognizes and treats as a (some low cost onboard adaptor for Digilent boards, IIRC) supported adapter. https://gist.github.com/rikka0w0/24b58b54473227502fa0334bbe7...

If you like FT2232, you’ll love the Tigard board that takes a FT2232H and adds level shifters and is basically as tricked out as you can make a FTDI adapter. https://github.com/tigard-tools/tigard

I can’t believe it’s happening after 17 years…

https://github.com/ReverseApple/dgraph but IIRC it still has some @rpath and its Apple extended family counterpart issues. PRs welcome!

Alternatively, where can I get the source for the app?

The latest Apple TV SoC (released in late 2021) is the same one used in the iPhone 13 and 14 (non-Pro). 2x 3+ GHz P-cores and 4x E-cores and 4GB of memory. I haven’t noticed any issues.

And info about the PAC-2 systems involved:

There is some enum or #define in a header I found recently that suggested there was once QAT acceleration of something XML related! I can’t find any documentation about it though.
