SymbiFlow examples
==================
This repository provides example FPGA designs that can be built using the SymbiFlow open source toolchain.
The examples target the Xilinx Artix-7 and the QuickLogic EOS S3 devices.
The repository includes:
* `eos-s3 </eos-s3>`_ - Example FPGA designs for the QuickLogic EOS S3 series of parts:
* Verilog code
* Pin constraints files
* Timing constraints files
* Makefiles for running the SymbiFlow toolchain
* `xc7 </xc7>`_ - Example FPGA designs for the Xilinx 7 series of parts:
* Verilog code
* Pin constraints files
* Timing constraints files
* Makefiles for running the SymbiFlow toolchain
* `.travis.yml <.travis.yml>`_ - Travis CI configuration file
Toolchain installation
----------------------
This section describes how to install the toolchain. This procedure is divided in two steps:
- Installing the Conda package manager
- Downloading the architecture definitions and installing the toolchain
#. Conda
.. code:: bash
wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O conda_installer.sh
#. Toolchain
* For the Artix-7 devices:
.. 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/presubmit/install/477/20200714-082108/symbiflow-arch-defs-install-8eb88e76.tar.xz | tar -xJ --one-top-level=$INSTALL_DIR/install
conda deactivate
* For the EOS S3 devices:
.. code:: bash
export INSTALL_DIR="/opt/symbiflow/eos-s3"
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 eos-s3/environment.yml
conda activate eos-s3
wget -qO- https://quicklogic-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/p/kkumar/Eb7341Bq-XRAukVQ6oQ6PrgB-qdFbrsrPEON1yTa4krFSA?download=1 | tar -xJ -C $INSTALL_DIR
cp -r $INSTALL_DIR/conda/envs/eos-s3/share/yosys/* $INSTALL_DIR/conda/envs/eos-s3/share/
conda deactivate
Build Example Designs
---------------------
With the toolchain installed, you can build the example designs.
The example designs are provided in separate directories:
* ``xc7`` directory for the Artix-7 devices
* ``eos-s3`` directory for the EOS S3 devices
Example designs for the Artix-7 devices:
****************************************
* For the Artix-7 devices:
Before building any example, prepare environment:
.. code:: bash
export INSTALL_DIR="/opt/symbiflow/xc7"
# adding symbiflow toolchain binaries to PATH
export PATH="$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
Example design for the EOS S3 devices:
**************************************
* For the EOS S3 devices:
Before building example, prepare environment:
.. code:: bash
export INSTALL_DIR="/opt/symbiflow/eos-s3"
export PATH="$INSTALL_DIR/install/bin:$PATH"
source "$INSTALL_DIR/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
conda activate eos-s3
git clone https://github.com/SymbiFlow/symbiflow-examples && cd symbiflow-examples
To build the example, run the following command:
.. code:: bash
pushd eos-s3/btn_counter && make && popd
