Upsilon docker development environment setup. # Dockerfile style guide Dockerfiles should be simple. The Dockerfiles should be readable to a beginner. # Setup steps Do all of the following in the `build` folder. ## Installing OpenFPGALoader Install [openFPGALoader][1]. If this program is not in your repositories, run `make openFPGALoader` to fetch and build the program. This will install openFPGALoader locally. Even if you install openFPGALoader locally, there are some files (udev rules) that must be installed with administrative privleges. Check the documentation for openFPGALoader.

Build environments 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` and `python3-pip`. ## Clone External Repositories Run `make clone`. You may need to download the upsilon repositories and put them in the same folder as the Makefile. ## Setup Network Plug in your router/switch to an ethernet port on your computer. If your computer is usually wired to the network, you will need another ethernet port (a PCI card is ideal, but a USB-Ethernet port works). Set the ethernet port to static ip `192.168.1.100/24`, netmask `255.255.255.0`, gateway `192.168.1.1`. Make sure this is not the default route. Make sure to adjust your firewall to allow traffic on the 192.168.1.0/24 range. If your local network already uses the 192.168.1.0/24 range, then you must modify `upsilon/firmware/soc.py` to use different IPs. You must rebuild the SoC after doing this. ## Setup Images Run `make images` to create all docker images. ## Setup and Run Containers For `NAME` in `hardware`, `opensbi`, `buildroot`: 1. Run `make $NAME-container` to build the container. You usually only need to do this once. 2. If the container already exists, do `docker container start upsilon-$NAME`. 3. Run `make $NAME-copy` to copy Upsilon's code into the container. 4. Run `make $NAME-execute` to build the data. 5. Run `make $NAME-get` to retrieve the build artefacts. If you do not delete the container you can run make $NAME-copy $NAME-execute $NAME-get when you need to rebuild. If you need shell access, run `make $NAME-shell`. ## Launch TFTP Server Install py3tftp (`pip3 install --user py3tftp`). Then run `make tftp` to launch the TFTP server. Keep this terminal open. ## Flash FPGA Plug in your FPGA into the USB slot. If you have installed openFPGALoader by your package manager, run `make OPENFPGALOADER=openfpgaloader flash`. If you installed it using `make openFPGALoader`, then just run `make flash`. In a second you should see messages in the TFTP terminal. This means your controller is sucessfully connected to your computer. ## SSH Access Add the following to your SSH config: Host upsilon HostName 192.168.1.50 StrictHostKeyChecking no UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null IdentityFile upsilon_key User root LogLevel QUIET Then copy the file `build/upsilon_key` to `$HOME/.ssh`. When the FPGA is connected you can access it with `ssh upsilon` (password `upsilon`). Wait about a minute for Linux to boot. ## Launch FPGA Shell (Optional) If you cannot access the FPGA through SSH, you can launch a shell through UART. You will need to install [LiteX](https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex). Download and run `litex_setup.py`. Run `litex_term /dev/ttyUSB1`. You should get messages in the window with the TFTP server that the FPGA has connected to the server. Eventually you will get a login prompt (username `root` password `upsilon`). ## Copy Library Run `make copy` to copy the Micropython Upsilon library to the FPGA. After this the modules `comm` and `mmio` are available when running scripts in `/root`.
