This hits a nerve and my urge to do that gets bigger and bigger by the day. I JUST have to do it (tm). Recently I have been playing around with the Microchip PolarFire SoC[1] and as I already know, there ain't __that__ much resources available when it comes to FPGA design. But oh man, microchip is a whole other level than Xilinx/AMD or anything Lattice/open source tools related. I fought so many battles to get things done and I finally have some kind of a workflow going and understand the chip. I really like it by now (if anyone wants to dive into hardware-software-codesign, it's a nice budget chip to do it with). But after every battle I fight, I think to myself: "God damn, I should write this one down on a blog somewhere. If I can only help one person in the future, even if it's myself, then that's a huge win". But the lazy (and kinda scared) me won until now. What if I don't write good enough (because english is not my mother tongue)? What if all I write is obvious to everyone else and I am the only one fighting? What if a friend will see this somehow and laugh at me? It doesn't matter. I should do it, because I feel like it.

Edit: My last few words reminded me of CHarles Bukowski's "Roll the dice". Maybe I should remind myself of that a bit more often: https://hellopoetry.com/poem/68266/roll-the-dice/ https://hellopoetry.com/poem/68266/roll-the-dice/
