Building FPGALink & the cksum example VHDL for MakeStuff LX9R3 on Linux: | |
# Install prerequisites: | |
sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev python-yaml | |
mkdir $HOME/20140524 | |
cd $HOME/20140524 | |
wget -qO- http://tiny.cc/msbil | tar zxf - | |
# Fetch and build flcli: | |
cd makestuff/apps | |
../scripts/msget.sh makestuff/flcli/20140524 | |
cd flcli | |
make deps | |
cd ../../ | |
# Fetch and build the VHDL version of the cksum example: | |
scripts/msget.sh makestuff/hdlmake | |
cd hdlmake/apps | |
../bin/hdlmake.py -g makestuff/swled | |
cd makestuff/swled/cksum/vhdl | |
../../../../../bin/hdlmake.py -t ../../templates/fx2min/vhdl -b lx9r2 -p fpga | |
# Load FPGALink firmware into the LX9R3: | |
../../../../../../apps/flcli/lin.x64/rel/flcli -v 1d50:602b:0002 -i 04B4:8613 | |
# Program the FPGA: | |
../../../../../../apps/flcli/lin.x64/rel/flcli -v 1d50:602b:0002 -p J:A7A0A3A1:fpga.xsvf | |
# Write 64KiB of random data to the board: | |
dd if=/dev/urandom of=random.dat bs=1024 count=64 | |
../../../../../../apps/flcli/lin.x64/rel/flcli -v 1d50:602b:0002 -a 'w0 "random.dat";r1;r2' -b | |
# And now read 64KiB (0x10000 bytes) back from the board and save it as "out.dat": | |
../../../../../../apps/flcli/lin.x64/rel/flcli -v 1d50:602b:0002 -a 'r0 10000 "out.dat"' | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
Alternatively, on Windows: | |
1) Install the Windows SDK: | |
http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/winsdk_web.exe | |
2) For x86, install this (choose "install just for me"): | |
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/python-2.7.6.msi | |
Alternatively for x64, install this (choose "install just for me"): | |
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/python-2.7.6.amd64.msi | |
3) Install: | |
http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml/PyYAML-3.10.win32-py2.7.exe | |
4) Download this and uncompress it to C:\makestuff: | |
http://tiny.cc/msbiw | |
5) Run C:\makestuff\setup.exe, select the C/C++ compiler, Xilinx ISE and Python 2.7 and click | |
"Create Shortcut". | |
6) Launch the new desktop shortcut & continue at the shell-prompt (hint: you can paste into the | |
console window using the right mouse button). | |
