Getting F4PGA
#############
This section describes how to install F4PGA and set up a fully working
environment to later build example designs.
Prerequisites
=============
To be able to follow through this tutorial, install the following software:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Ubuntu
.. code-block:: bash
:name: install-reqs-ubuntu
apt update -y
apt install -y git wget xz-utils
.. group-tab:: Debian
.. code-block:: bash
:name: install-reqs-debian
apt update -y
apt install -y git wget xz-utils
.. group-tab:: CentOS
.. code-block:: bash
:name: install-reqs-centos
yum update -y
yum install -y git wget which xz
.. group-tab:: Fedora
.. code-block:: bash
:name: install-reqs-fedora
dnf install -y findutils git wget which xz
Next, clone the F4PGA examples repository and enter it:
.. code-block:: bash
:name: get-f4pga
git clone https://github.com/chipsalliance/f4pga-examples
cd f4pga-examples
Toolchain installation
======================
Now we are able to install the F4PGA toolchain. This procedure is divided
into three steps:
- installing the Conda package manager,
- choosing an installation directory,
- downloading the architecture definitions and installing the toolchain.
Conda
-----
Download Conda installer script into the f4pga-examples directory:
.. code-block:: bash
:name: wget-conda
wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O conda_installer.sh
Choose the install directory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The install directory can either be in your home directory
such as ``~/opt/f4pga`` or in a system directory such as ``/opt/f4pga``.
If you choose a system directory, you will need root permission to perform the installation,
and so you will need to add some ``sudo`` commands to the instructions below.
.. code-block:: bash
:name: conda-install-dir
export INSTALL_DIR=~/opt/f4pga
Setup and download assets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Select your target FPGA family:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Artix-7
.. code-block:: bash
:name: fpga-fam-xc7
export FPGA_FAM=xc7
.. group-tab:: EOS S3
.. code-block:: bash
:name: fpga-fam-eos-s3
export FPGA_FAM=eos-s3
Next, setup Conda and your system's environment:
.. code-block:: bash
:name: conda-setup
bash conda_installer.sh -u -b -p $INSTALL_DIR/$FPGA_FAM/conda;
source "$INSTALL_DIR/$FPGA_FAM/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh";
conda env create -f $FPGA_FAM/environment.yml
Download architecture definitions:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Artix-7
.. code-block:: bash
:name: download-arch-def-xc7
mkdir -p $INSTALL_DIR/xc7/install
wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/symbiflow-arch-defs/artifacts/prod/foss-fpga-tools/symbiflow-arch-defs/continuous/install/20220406-185509/symbiflow-arch-defs-install-3ef4188.tar.xz | tar -xJC $INSTALL_DIR/xc7/install
wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/symbiflow-arch-defs/artifacts/prod/foss-fpga-tools/symbiflow-arch-defs/continuous/install/20220406-185509/symbiflow-arch-defs-xc7a50t_test-3ef4188.tar.xz | tar -xJC $INSTALL_DIR/xc7/install
wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/symbiflow-arch-defs/artifacts/prod/foss-fpga-tools/symbiflow-arch-defs/continuous/install/20220406-185509/symbiflow-arch-defs-xc7a100t_test-3ef4188.tar.xz | tar -xJC $INSTALL_DIR/xc7/install
wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/symbiflow-arch-defs/artifacts/prod/foss-fpga-tools/symbiflow-arch-defs/continuous/install/20220406-185509/symbiflow-arch-defs-xc7a200t_test-3ef4188.tar.xz | tar -xJC $INSTALL_DIR/xc7/install
wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/symbiflow-arch-defs/artifacts/prod/foss-fpga-tools/symbiflow-arch-defs/continuous/install/20220406-185509/symbiflow-arch-defs-xc7z010_test-3ef4188.tar.xz | tar -xJC $INSTALL_DIR/xc7/install
.. group-tab:: EOS-S3
.. code-block:: bash
:name: download-arch-def-eos-s3
wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/symbiflow-arch-defs-install/quicklogic-arch-defs-d6d05185.tar.gz | tar -xzC $INSTALL_DIR/eos-s3/
If the above commands exited without errors, you have successfully installed and configured your working environment.
.. IMPORTANT::
With the toolchain installed, you are ready to build the example designs!
Examples are provided in separated directories:
* Subdir :ghsrc:`xc7` for the Artix-7 devices
* Subdir :ghsrc:`eos-s3` for the EOS S3 devices
