recommended max length for platform/target? about litex-boards HOT 5 CLOSED

For now this is specific to platforms/targets defined in litex-buildenv, llitex-boards target are not yet using it. We still need to discuss what's the best, there is already an identifier module that can also be used for that. For now i suggest not providing it, we'll update later.

this did not answer the question - is there a recommended NAME length limit? if later the ident core has limit on name length, then platoforms with too long name would have issue :(

The maximum length of the identifier module is 255 characters: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/master/litex/soc/cores/identifier.py#L11

yes, I know, but timvideos has introduced "platform" and "target" info modules, both 8 characters max,, thats why I asked, I'd also better stick with single identified space of 255 characters..

I found 8 characters too restrictive and managing a single identifier is less restrictive/more flexible, so for boards in litex-boards i recommend just using the LiteX identifier.
