The LED of the device should turn on. Congratulations! You have a basic ARTIQ system up and running.

Host/core device interaction

You can then turn the LED off and on by entering 0 or 1 at the prompt that appears: ::

$ python led.py

|

$ python led.py

$ python3 led.py
|

Enter desired LED state: 0
|
||||
|
||||
What happens is the ARTIQ compiler notices that the ``input_led_state`` function does not have a ``@kernel`` decorator and thus must be executed on the host. When the core device calls it, it sends a request to the host to execute it. The host displays the prompt, collects user input, and sends the result back to the core device, which sets the LED state accordingly.

Connect an oscilloscope or logic analyzer to the RTIO channel 1 (pin C11 on the Papilio Pro) and run ``python rtio.py``. Notice that the generated signal's period is precisely 4 microseconds, and that it has a duty cycle of precisely 50%. This is not what you would expect if the delay and the pulse were implemented with CPU-controlled GPIO: overhead from the loop management, function calls, etc. would increase the signal's period, and asymmetry in the overhead would cause duty cycle distortion.

Instead, inside the core device, output timing is generated by the gateware and the CPU only programs switching commands with certain timestamps that the CPU computes. This guarantees precise timing as long as the CPU can keep generating timestamps that are increasing fast enough. In case it fails to do that (and attempts to program an event with a timestamp in the past), the :class:`artiq.devices.runtime_exceptions.RTIOUnderflow` exception is raised. The kernel causing it may catch it (using a regular ``try... except...`` construct), or it will be propagated to the host.

Preparing the core device FPGA board
|

------------------------------------
|

|

You may skip those steps if the board is already flashed.
|
||||
These steps are required to generate bitstream (``.bit``) files, build the MiSoC BIOS and ARTIQ runtime, and flash FPGA boards. If the board is already flashed, you may skip those steps and go directly to `Installing the host-side software`.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need:
|
||||
* Install the FPGA vendor tools (e.g. Xilinx ISE and/or Vivado):
|
||||
|
||||
* FPGA vendor tools (e.g. Xilinx ISE or Vivado)
|
||||
Get Xilinx tools from http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm. ISE can build bitstreams both for boards using the Spartan-6 (Papilio Pro) and 7-series devices (KC705), while Vivado supports only boards using 7-series devices.
|
||||
|
||||
* Get them from http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm
|
||||
* Create a development directory: ::
|
||||
|
||||
* Python 3.4+
|
||||
$ mkdir ~/artiq-dev
|
||||
|
||||
* OpenRISC GCC/binutils toolchain (or1k-elf-...)
|

* Install Migen: ::
|

|
||||
* Compile and install binutils. Fetch the source from https://github.com/openrisc/or1k-src ::

* Install Migen::
|

|

$ cd migen && sudo python setup.py install
|

* Install MiSoC dependencies by following steps 2., 3. and 6. (respectively JTAG tools, flash proxy bitstream and compiler-rt) from the MiSoC README.
|

$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|

$ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/migen

``python`` refers to Python 3. You may need to use the ``python3`` command instead of ``python`` on some distributions.
|

The options ``develop`` and ``--user`` are for setup.py to install Migen in ``~/.local/lib/python3.4``.
|
||||
|

After these components are installed, build and flash the bitstream and BIOS by running `from the MiSoC top-level directory`: ::
|

$ cd /path_to/ARTIQ/soc/runtime
|

$ make flash
|

* Install JTAG tools needed to program Papilio Pro and KC705:
|
||||
|

Check that the board boots by running a serial terminal program (you may need to press its FPGA reconfiguration button or power-cycle it to load the bitstream that was newly written into the flash): ::

It is safe to ignore the message "Could NOT find LIBFTD2XX" (libftd2xx is different from libftdi, and is not required).
|

|

* Install the required flash proxy bitstreams:
|
||||
|

The purpose of the flash proxy bitstream is to give programming software fast JTAG access to the flash connected to the FPGA.

Then copy ``bscan_spi_lx9_papilio.bit`` to ``~/.migen``, ``/usr/local/share/migen`` or ``/usr/share/migen``.
|
||||
|

$ mkdir ~/artiq-dev/bitstreams/kc705

$ cd ~/artiq-dev/bitstreams/kc705

|

|
||||
$ cd ~/misoc
|

$ ./make.py -X ~/artiq/soc -t artiq all

Installing the host-side software
|

---------------------------------
|

The main dependency of ARTIQ is LLVM and its Python bindings (http://llvmpy.org). Currently, this installation is tedious because of the OpenRISC support not being merged upstream LLVM and because of incompatibilities between the versions of LLVM that support OpenRISC and the versions of LLVM that support the Python bindings. ::

||||
* Install LLVM and its Python bindings:

``python`` refers to Python 3. You may need to use the ``python3`` command instead of ``python`` on some distributions.
|
||||
Compilation of LLVM can take more than 30 min on some machines.

|

You may want to use ``checkinstall`` instead of ``make install`` (to register the installation with your package manager) and ``pip3 install --user .`` instead of ``sudo -E python setup.py install``.

|
||||
$ python3 setup.py develop --user

|

$ cd /path_to/ARTIQ
|

$ sudo python setup.py install
|
||||
* Build the documentation: ::
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can simply add the ARTIQ directory to your ``PYTHONPATH`` environment variable. The advantage of this technique is that you will not need to reinstall ARTIQ when modifying or upgrading it, which is useful during development.
