SymbiFlow Toolchain Examples for Xilinx 7 Series
================================================
#. ``counter`` - simple 4-bit counter driving LEDs. The design targets the `Basys3 board `__ and the `Arty board `__.
#. ``picosoc`` - `picorv32 `__ based SoC. The design targets the `Basys3 board `__.
#. ``linux_litex`` - `LiteX `__ based system with Linux capable `VexRiscv core `__. The design includes `DDR `__ and `Ethernet `__ controllers. The design targets the `Arty board `__.
The Linux images for the ``linux_litex`` example can be built following the `linux on litex vexriscv `__ instructions.
The ``linux_litex`` example is already provided with working Linux images.
Setting up the toolchain
------------------------
.. toolchain_include_begin_label
.. code:: bash
INSTALL_DIR="/opt/symbiflow/xc7"
bash conda_installer.sh -b -p $INSTALL_DIR/conda && rm conda_installer.sh
source "$INSTALL_DIR/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
conda env create -f xc7/environment.yml
conda activate xc7
wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/symbiflow-arch-defs/artifacts/prod/foss-fpga-tools/symbiflow-arch-defs/continuous/install/66/20200914-111752/symbiflow-arch-defs-install-05d68df0.tar.xz | tar -xJ --one-top-level=$INSTALL_DIR/install
conda deactivate
.. toolchain_include_end_label
Building the examples
---------------------
.. build_examples_include_begin_label
Before building any example, prepare environment:
.. code:: bash
export INSTALL_DIR="/opt/symbiflow/xc7"
# adding symbiflow toolchain binaries to PATH
export PATH="$INSTALL_DIR/install/bin:$PATH"
source "$INSTALL_DIR/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
conda activate xc7
git clone https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-examples && cd symbiflow-examples
To build the counter example, run the following commands:
.. code:: bash
pushd xc7/counter_test && make clean && TARGET="arty_50" make && popd
pushd xc7/counter_test && make clean && TARGET="arty_100" make && popd
pushd xc7/counter_test && make clean && TARGET="basys3" make && popd
To build the picosoc example, run the following commands:
.. code:: bash
pushd xc7/picosoc_demo && make && popd
To build the litex example, run the following commands:
.. code:: bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enjoy-digital/litex/master/litex_setup.py
chmod +x litex_setup.py
./litex_setup.py init
./litex_setup.py install
wget https://static.dev.sifive.com/dev-tools/riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc-8.1.0-2019.01.0-x86_64-linux-ubuntu14.tar.gz
tar -xf riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc-8.1.0-2019.01.0-x86_64-linux-ubuntu14.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc-8.1.0-2019.01.0-x86_64-linux-ubuntu14/bin/
pushd litex/litex/boards/targets && ./arty.py --toolchain symbiflow --cpu-type vexriscv --build && popd
To build the linux-litex-demo example, run the following commands:
.. code:: bash
pushd xc7/linux_litex_demo && make && popd
pushd xc7/linux_litex_demo && TARGET=arty_100 make && popd
