advent-calendar-of-circuits-2020's Issues

Generated gerbers may not be suitable for all fabs

Note all the gerbers here were generated with KiCad Nightly builds and https://github.com/gregdavill/KiZip

It's become apparent that there might be an issue with some fabs processing more fancy gerber features. This may result in rounded corners being clipped.

I'm still waiting for some PCBs to arrive.
I've also already updated KiZip to disable the extra features. (gregdavill/KiZip@35049ee)

sd-dummy: Swapped VDD and VSS

It seems that in pmod-sd-dummy project VDD on pin 3 and GND on pin 4 are swapped, see comparision below:

Wikipedia agrees with image on right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card#Transfer_modes

Have these been tested?

Question: have these been tested? Or were they just practice experiments that were never verified to actually work? Even brief successful testing would probably be acceptable for my purposes; mostly I just want to confirm there are no immediate, breaking bugs, haha.

interfacing mipi camera with butterstick

i'm trying to interface mipi camera to butterstick using lattice . is it possible to process frame using litex if possibe please give a reference for butterstick
