Upsilon docker development environment setup.
|
|
|
|
# Setup steps
|
|
|
|
## 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.

|
## Setup Rootless Docker
|
|
|
|
Docker allows you to run programs in containers, which are isolated
|
|
environments. 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`.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
2. Run `make $NAME-copy` to copy Upsilon's code into the container.
|
|
3. Run `make $NAME-execute` to build the data.
|
|
4. Run `make $NAME-get` to retrieve the build artefacts.
|
|
5. (Optionally) run `make $NAME-clean` to delete the container.
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
## Flash FPGA
|
|
|
|
Plug in your FPGA into the USB slot. Then run
|
|
|
|
openFPGALoader -c digilent upsilon/boot/digilent_arty.bit
|
|
|
|
## Launch TFTP Server
|
|
|
|
Install py3tftp (`pip3 install --user py3tftp`). Then run `make tftp` to
|
|
launch the TFTP server. Keep this terminal open.
|
|
|
|
## Launch FPGA Shell
|
|
|
|
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: you have sucessfully loaded Upsilon onto your FPGA.
