Linux LiteX demo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This example design features a Linux-capable SoC based around VexRiscv soft
CPU. It also includes DDR and Ethernet controllers. To build the litex example,
run the following commands:
To build the linux-litex-demo example, depending on your hardware, run:
.. code-block:: bash
:name: example-litex-a35t-group
TARGET="arty_35" make -C linux_litex_demo
.. code-block:: bash
:name: example-litex-a100t-group
TARGET="arty_100" make -C linux_litex_demo
At completion, the bitstreams are located in the build directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cd linux_litex_demo/build/<board>
Now you can upload the design with:
.. code-block:: bash
openocd -f ${INSTALL_DIR}/${FPGA_FAM}/conda/envs/${FPGA_FAM}/share/openocd/scripts/board/digilent_arty.cfg -c "init; pld load 0 top.bit; exit"
.. note::
LiteX on Linux demo expects you to use IPv4 address of ``192.168.100.100/24``
on your network interface.
You should observe the following line in the OpenOCD output
.. code-block:: bash
Info : JTAG tap: xc7.tap tap/device found: 0x0362d093 (mfg: 0x049 (Xilinx), part: 0x362d, ver: 0x0)
In the ``picocom`` terminal, you should observe the following output:
