PCI driver in Linux is pretty easy to write. the problem with pcie is that it's difficult to debug the physical layer unless you have very good tools.

I2S is actually a super easy way to move a lot of data and you can get parts with pretty fast I2S channels. if your signal rate is higher, for higher rates usb is probably your best bet.

better than accumulator architectures, I guess. but seriously, use a cortex M0/3

there are still people using something other than Cortex-M chips for something that doesn't have to be ultra low power

it can definitely be fun and it's very satisfying when you figure out that what you were doing wrong in the programming sequence, yeah.

this must be what it feels like to work in post silicon verification except there's no money riding on me figuring out how to make this silly display work.

Silicon verification loving sucks horse dong.

is codesourcery still a thing?
the last time i did anything serious with arm you couldn't use mainline gcc, you had to download a specific two releases old version of codesourcery, or your program would crash

yes. ARM hired them to make GCC not terrible for ARM targets. they've made some good progress.

how's LLVM/clang as an embedded compiler these days? should have pretty good ARM support.

it is the default compiler for iOS so it's pretty good at arm (and the best arm64 compiler now that Apple open-sourced their backend). it took them a long time to figure out stuff that embedded targets need, but now they seem to be on it so they won't blow your stack up or break cortex m by putting in unsupported op codes. although they do have a knack for screwing up inline asm. It's probably my compiler of choice unless I'm really pressed for space.

from reading this thread, i am no longer interested in FPGA design

spend some time working with them, then you'll really no longer be interested
