Upsilon development environment setup. Written by Peter McGoron. # Preqreuisites ## Rebinding Caps Lock to Escape gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['caps:swapescape']" ## Installing OpenFPGALoader Then install [openFPGALoader][1]. This utility entered the Ubuntu repositories in 23.04. Install and compile it if you do not have it. Install the udev rule so that admin access is not required to load FPGA bitstreams.

Upsilon development (at the Maglab) uses Docker for reproducibility: the environment can be set up automatically, and re-setup whenever needed. If you have issues with docker, try adding to `~/.config/docker/daemon.json` { "storage-driver": "fuse-overlayfs" } ## Download and Install Python3 Install `python3-venv` (or `python3-virtualenv`) and `python3-pip`. # Setup Build Environment Run `make image container attach`.
