From be9fe2c4f2559fc4ebc417569ded369a0a6b5543 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Perplexity Computer Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 14:27:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat(ci): Vivado in GitHub Actions Docker (replaces Railway runner) Pure GH Actions setup, no self-hosted runner, no Railway: - infra/vivado-docker/Dockerfile: multi-stage Ubuntu 22.04 + Vivado 2025.2 ML Standard silent-installed Artix-7-only (~35 GB final image). License-free WebPACK mode. - infra/vivado-docker/install_config.txt: minimal install config (Vivado=1, Artix-7=1, all other families=0, DocNav=0). - infra/vivado-docker/README.md: architecture, 2-step setup runbook, troubleshooting. - .github/workflows/build-vivado-image.yml: manual workflow that fetches the Vivado installer from a private GitHub Release asset (tag vivado-installer-2025.2), builds the image, pushes ghcr.io//t27-vivado:2025.2 with GHA layer cache. - .github/workflows/vivado-synth.yml: per-PR synth pipeline using container: ghcr.io//t27-vivado:2025.2; builds t27c, runs fpga-build --smoke for Verilog gen, runs Vivado synth/P&R/bitstream, extracts utilization/timing via inline awk, uploads bit + log artifacts. Triggers on fpga/ specs/fpga/ bootstrap/src/ changes + workflow_dispatch. - Removed obsolete .github/workflows/vivado-bitstream.yml (used kkrizka/vivado:2019.2 which is dead and exceeded GH-hosted disk). Easimon/maximize-build-space frees ~45 GB on ubuntu-latest before image pull. GH-hosted 4 vCPU/16 GB sufficient for gf16_top synth+P&R (~25-40 min).
