sure.

at 20 years old it's pretty obvious and basic.  i (gosh, shock) added
a patch that allowed comment editing, when we first started

:)

anyway: due to spammers i had to disable account creation, i did it
for you and sent you a notify, just now, you can use it to request a
password reset.

sure.

well, here is some context:
https://freenode.irclog.whitequark.org/nmigen/2020-12-06#28537093;

and you should create a password so that you can log in here

   https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458

let us at least get you started, here, then transfer to that bugreport
once you're able.

you should also familiarise yourself with nmigen, get it installed etc
by going through the HDL_workflow

    https://libre-soc.org/HDL_workflow/

part of that, i will need an ssh public key from you (send me by email)

quite a lot to do, initially, so to help with that cole created some
auto-install scripts:

    https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=dev-env-setup.git;a=tree;

any questions just ask ok?

best,

l.
